If we think more complexly we can find a much better answer. Cloudflares profitable services depend on DNS working properly for both the customer and the customers userbase. DNS servers outside of cloudflares control may not be correct, or may not route properly in various edge conditions. Therefore an easy way to solve this is to simply host their own DNS.
- bombcar 3y agoThis is probably it; the very first thing support can ask is "try it with 1.1.1.1 and see if it works" - if it does, it's a DNS issue. Also, by running their own DNS they can ensure that some percentage of the Internet does NOT cache results beyond what they want (to some extent) - much of what Cloudflare does is DNS trickery to route to the appropriate CDN.
