I've never used CF so I could be ignorant in this matter. I assumed perhaps incorrectly that people had to verify their email address and delegate their domain(s) to CF including setting the glue records in the TLD servers meaning there is possibly a financial trail somewhere probably in the DNS registrars and perhaps a mail provider, whereas this is just drag-and-drop with no money trail.

I have no idea what guardrails they have in place in the background that blocks malware, CSAM, warez and such on their free accounts.

Just having an account with an email address is enough.

They assign a subdomain automatically for uploads, same as cloudflare workers.

I don't know what they do, but implementing guardrails for this is possible nowadays with AI, but maybe they use a "mechanical turk"

If you want your own domain you need to do a bunch of that but you can also host stuff on your own free subdomain of their workers.dev
