That's not true. Read about all the drama happening in Spain when an entity (the soccer league) decides to block all the Cloudfare IPs. You are stuck with no access to most websites behind Cloudfare, and that's a lot of them

How does this differ if Spain decided to block AWS IPs?
It doesn't, it's the same problem. But at least AWS provides more services. Cloudfare is just an extra layer to route traffic
Cloudflare does a lot more these days. You can run a JS app in Workers and any Linux app in a container. You can have them host your database and object storage.
Great and I heard they offer haircuts at a discount. But they still block 25% of internet traffic
