Nothing wrong with some cynicism. And I totally understand the concern, but one thing people always miss with Cloudflare is... follow the money. We get paid by people with web servers and API servers. We have to do things that keep them happy.

I think that applies almost anywhere. One could say "don't trust Google or Facebook with personal data" merely based on the fact that almost all of their money comes from advertising.
