They're basically CPanel on steroids (=orchestrating a whole bunch of servers/services instead of a single server) with low-code features (workers) built in. You can go from nothing to having a demo for some small application in a day or two, while hardly leaving their site. For cloudflare, for example: register domain, set up DNS, deploy "web app" UI as a site, write a quick & dirty API in workers (you can even write it all in-browser!), letting CF handle all the routing and such. They're similarly pointy-clicky one-stop-shop for fairly complex external and internal networking, on high-tier plans, at least for Cloudflare. I am very aware of the risks with things like this, but the appeal is clear.
