I wrote this comment [0] very recently and when I wrote it had in mind that Cloudflare might very well end up being a key player in a more centralized Internet that has developed far away from its original architecture.

Defense against threats is a pretty strong centralization incentive in different kinds of networks - social, biological.

I could imagine that a lot of people are investing based on similar scenarios in their minds.
