Am I the only one worried about Cloudflare becoming too powerful?

We went through this with E-mail: we slept through the period when Google, Microsoft and AWS were growing, and we ended up with them dictating the terms. Today I get 90% of my spam from Google, Microsoft and AWS and they don't care: they can safely ignore spam reports, because at this point they are Too Big to Block.

I have a feeling we are moving towards the same problem with Cloudflare and the web. Tomorrow Cloudflare will start dictating what we can or cannot do and we will not be able to do anything about it. This has already begun: their arbitrary "bot-filtering" for example.

Cloudflare is already too powerful, their anti DDOS solution is just too good. But their serverless products/features don't really build on that, they are just another hosting company.

No, it gets brought up in every single thread about cloud flare. And if this wasnt a feature release that people seem to like, the top comment would probably be talking about how cloudflare is terrible for the internet.
