The IPFS part is where the actual files are downloaded from. I wouldn't necessarily say that it's instead of a CDN - it just seems to be a reliable enough way of getting the files (without the pain of setting up a server with all these files myself). Indeed, it fetches them through IPFS Gateways (the Cloudflare IPFS Gateway is unfortunately no longer a thing) using their CID hash.
