Cloudflare is not an ISP. They have other services they sell. Maybe they're selling your data, maybe not. I honestly have not read their agreements and terms, but it's not nearly as obvious that you're the product as something like Google
So this company based in the US which provides internet services is not an internet service provider.
Given that they are funded and run by the same forces american parastical capitalism provides I would trust them as much as I'd trust google or alphabet.
I'll continue to route my DNS to quad-nine over mullvad over my specifically chosen ISP, and everything on my network does that as I can easily intercept and redirect udp/53.
The weak point are treacherous devices which use DoH which is a constant fight to block.
They provide network services on the internet, but unless I'm missing some product they don't list on their website they do not provide actual basic IP internet connectivity for businesses, everything they sell is some service on top of your existing ISP services

Why not run your own recursive resolver? It's very easy to set up - worried about leaking your IP address to authoritative DNS servers?
