True, there are some attacks that cloudflare may be better positioned to mitigate…but a well-designed application won’t be susceptible to attacks unless they involve a huge amount of traffic, and in those cases the amount of traffic is so huge that it can be detected easily without needing to see the http content.
For some sites, both the content publisher and the consumer may prioritise availability over perfect secrecy (e.g. distributing life-saving information in a natural disaster or war)
There might not be a single product on the planet that is more suitable for this use case than Cloudflare
Many sites and many consumers will not share this priority of values, however, so I agree that Cloudflare is inappropriate for these cases
