The problem is you are asked to move your DNS SOA/NS to CloudFlare, they won't let you just slap a CNAME/A+AAAA, and that could be disruptive to your setup - there's no single standard for managing DNS programmatically, many DNS vendors provide extensions (such as GeoDNS, AWS "ALIAS" records, fallback) etc.
I've done my share of nasty DNS hacks to make a customer happy; even without hacks you do want some order in your setup so you'll end up with a huge piece of Terraform or a glued-together Python script. Changing DNS providers can be extremely painful.
