Following the money will especially help in this situation.

How does CloudFlare make its money? It's a CDN company. I mean, that's the CORE of what they do. What is jsCDN? It's a CDN.

A simpler theory is that hosting a Javascript CDN (and demonstrating that it's even better than Google's, which is amazing), is going to provide a lot of free advertising for their product. If I use their CDN for JS and it works really well, I'm likely to go back to them for hosting other things, because using jsCDN is almost like doing a free trial of their actual CDN.

It's not even like their main form of income is in another industry that we have to make a cognitive leap to see what their ulterior motives are. It's precisely this. CDNs.
