You don't think the people actually running the shops, whose income depends on the shop, have thought of that and thus there exists a downside that more than offsets the upside?

The people running the shops aren't the people making the decision - Cloudflare is. The shop's only real decision is "use Cloudflare" or "die to all the attacks Cloudflare exists to prevent"

Yes. I suspect that many people who run online shops don’t think about this issue and, mostly, don’t even know there is an issue.
