>Cloudflare can be compelled to secretly share anything the NSA want.

This is true given some possible interpretations, false given other possible interpretations. Cloudflare can be secretly compelled to share specific things, there's no legal mechanism to compel Cloudflare to share everything.

Wasn't the whole thing that the secret courts were too liberal in access they were granting?
Not in the sense that they were ordering companies to facilitate full take collection of content by the NSA, no.

Hence the famous "SSL added and removed here ;-)" slide

Wasn’t room 641A just the NSA strong arming At&T to facilitate full take collection?
Getting AT&T to do that is not the same as getting Google to do that.

AT&T does not have much to lose by doing that, Google does.

How do they not have much to lose? They are the ones that have their users on a subscription basis.
AT&T customers will not (and did not!) leave because of NSA surveillance, and generally don't have that many options anyway.
