I'm not defending the action, but some companies/government officials want to spend very little on their hosting. Often a Cloudflare account is put in front of the website, and all but US, or even local accounts are blocked. I have been forced to do it with clients that are not willing to spend more money on hosting, and they have a site that has regular updates where I can't cache everything, or the cache is commonly "cleared" for making changes to global elements. I have done a lot of work to "section out" parts of a website that update often, and replaced those areas with dynamic JavaScript to bypass page caching. Even then, it's a tough subject because clients often get confused when the content they updated doesn't show up, even with a custom CMS with a page level cache-clearing mechanism (using Umbraco, which has allowed me to start with zero layout, and create anything the designers and clients come up with). I've had to build all the cache breaking mechanisms by hand, using the Cloudflare API.
