We want to have less, not more, dependence on Cloudflare.
Single point of failure, for both technical and political failures.

  Cloudflare wants all dependence on Cloudflare they can get.

    I agree with both you and the person you’re responding to.

    Same, but the real question is how. At this point, the things they are proposing are genuinely useful for the environment that we are finding ourselves in? How does one even begin to allow for less dependency here without appropriate substitute/mitigation for what cloudflare renders relatively painless.

    It's true that setting up a service without Cloudfare is painful. But there will be a day in which anyone that has set up something using Cloudfare will go through some pain either by something breaking or because Cloudfare will show their true colors.
    Do you want the pain now or later?
