> I'm sure Cloudflare spared no expense in that part of their infrastructure yet here they are

Almost everyone developing software spares some expense. It's maybe the main argument you can make for why it's engineering vs not. It's a cost-benefit tradeoff.

Cloudflare isn't doing e.g. super expensive formally verified software up and down its whole stack, practically nobody does that.
