Seems like these announcements were part of Cloudflare's "Birthday Week"[1]
More features that weren't mentioned by OP:
- CF released an email routing feature
- They released their domain name registrar (you could previously only transfer, but now you can also register domain names) using wholesale prices. I'd also classify this as a "disruption" because CF is not taking any profit with this one (but they have a lot to gain in terms of data if you route your domain traffic through them.)

- innocenat 5y agoThe registrar service has been here for some times, but previously you need to transfer domain in instead of register new domain.
- greatsaas12 5y agoYep, was aware of this, but forgot to mention it. Edited the comment, thanks!
- decrypt 5y agoOne thing that most folks aren't aware is that Cloudflare registrar requires usage of their nameservers. It's understandable, they are selling domains without a markup and need to make money in other ways. For those that want to use a custom nameserver, Porkbun is a great choice.
- gnat 5y agoWhat is their business model around having your DNS traffic? Selling your "who looked you up and how many times" data? I am struggling to see what secondary income this enables.

- BenjiWiebe 5y agoIt makes it extremely easy (and therefore more likely) to use CloudFlare as a CDN/DDoS protection. Just a simple toggle, if they're your DNS server.
