Cloudflare gets a cut though, so it's valuable. As long as number go up, all good

Cloudflare operates as an at-cost registrar. They charge wholesale prices for domains.

What cut are you talking about?

They may be wrong on that particular point, but Cloudflare definitely profits from increased crime as it drives increased sales of Cloudflare's security products. There are rumors they even knowingly help protect DDoS botnets because they benefit from there being more DDoS.
