For someone getting very aggressive for words "being put in your mouth", you're not really paraphrasing that Cloudflare CEO very fairly.
He was specificity responding to someone complaining it's still in Google's cache, by stating that "The caches other than Google were quick to clear [..] I agree it's troubling that Google is taking so long.".
By leaving out this context, and phrasing it a "strategy", is not a fair paraphrasing. These bits matter. Two things can be true at the same time: 1) Cloudflare messed up, and 2) Google is very slow to deal with this, and also messed up. Indexing all of the web comes with some responsibilities.
Please apply the same standards to yourself that you impose on others with such aggression and hostility.
The context in which Cloudflare was saying it was that a team at Google was the one to discover the issue in the first place. That's why that particular comment was taken so uncharitably by many at the time.
