  Cloudflare (CF) is a large Conglomerate. - Archive.Today (AT) is perhaps a single person. - Hence David vs Goliath.

Which ever way you look at this problem, the average end-user is hurt/damaged, perhaps it is past time for regulatory body(s), Legislators to cast an eye on anti-competitive stifling of competition.
