I have long hated Cloudflare, so it's hard to be on their side here. They MitM large parts of the web and often trap you in long or even infinite loops with their horrendous checker that some sites unfortunately use. It's especially bad on less common browsers. In two cases I had to spoof my useragent or it would literally never pass the check, locking me out of several sites.
Even if the block was without reason, I would've thought "fair enough, Cloudflare sucks". It's weird to me how many people willingly use Google or Cloudflare DNS. I would have to be in quite the pinch to rely on either, like a site I need is blocked and I happen to remember their simple IPs, and also I can't use something like an ssh tunnel instead for some reason.
CloudFlare DNS is not the part that gives you the annoying anti bot checks. Those are from website operators who have opted in to the CDN and anti-DDoS services that CloudFlare offers.
