They're creating optional opt-in protection layers for the services they operate.

I genuinely don't understand these generic complaint comments.

Are you complaining that they offer too much? Or do you believe nobody is offering similar services?

The complaint is that the offer is a great deal with no downsides for consumers, and this is likely to result in Cloudflare having a lot of power (which they currently don't have) as a market maker. This position as market maker would grant them the power to extract economic rent from the web economy by charging both sides of the web provider and web consumer market to get access to the other.
