Honestly this is the most likely hypothesis, but would be nice to have some more evidence.

If a cdn didn't intercept requests, how else could it work? Literally every cdn is an mitm.

  • I'm sure you've heard this before but Cloudflare isn't really a CDN. CDNs don't have to intercept requests to be useful.

    I think what you describe is closer to "TLS terminating reverse proxy", which does need to intercept every request.
