What's always been interesting to me about this take is it's not as though Cloudflare is randomly inserting themselves in internet traffic.
Cloudflare customers have choice in the marketplace and they chose Cloudflare for whatever reasons. If end-users take issue with accessing the site of a Cloudflare customer they should take it up with the owners of the site that chose Cloudflare. Theoretically the Cloudflare customer would take it up with them if it becomes problematic. Cloudflare has no obligation to the site end-users other than meeting the needs of their customer who does have obligation to their end-users (theoretically).
Cloudflare is, ostensibly, providing a solution for their customers. How that impacts their customer's end-users is between Cloudflare and the customer.
