This issue caused CF to irreversibly ban them though, so it's not "just a bandwidth issue" anymore.

Do you have a source for that? The article only mentions them being throttled + the screenshot with the support engineer saying they seem to be breaking the ToS and asking them politely to move back into compliance.

Well, CF is just one service provider. There are bigger issues if they have already such a monopoly that their decisions kill projects worlwide.

Where did you get that they were irreversibly banned? Or banned at all for that matter?

They didn't get banned. They got an email from CF support saying that they cannot cache TXT files and that they'd need to disable the proxy.

This does not mean banned.
