And all of those generic services typically have more accountability than CloudFlare.

I disagree, I think the metric that matters is what proportion of malicious sites use CloudFlare and their ilk. I have personally had reasonable success after reporting malicious sites to the abuse@ address for their IP range. CF breaks that.

I know it was heavy handed, but nothing less would even register on CF's radar. You have to make CF's customers angry with CF for them to do anything, yet their position is they still won't. CF would rather sue someone else than make it easy for the Internet to combat bullshit.
