It's hard not to use Cloudflare at least for me: good products, "free" for small projects, and if Cloudflare is down no one will blame you since the internet is down.
Well, no. If they are unreliable to the point of being an outlier when compared to the alternatives then people will switch. At this stage they’re not an outlier.

But this is not really the case. When Azure/AWS were down, same as this one with Cloudflare: significant amount of web was down but most of it was not. It just makes more obvious which provider you use.

That is true. it is also the problem. It means the biggest providers do not even need to bother to be reliable because everyone will use them anyway.
