I'm frustrated by this too, for additional reasons (#MitM and #CAPTCHA #paywall), but I'd like to have a friendly open discussion about this to hopefully get those numbers down.

I'm sure there are various reasons why instance admins let #Cloudflare front their service, like out of habit, not thinking of the implications or weighing them in another way, having actually experienced DDoS or other attacks that Cloudflare can actually mitigate and not knowing of or having resources for other recourse.

I'm also sure that an even larger portion of the fediverse instances are hosted on major cloud provider infrastructure, many of them masked by being fronted by Cloudflare or other. There are similar concerns there.
