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
And google don't provide actual basic IP internet connectivity for businesses. They are still an american company that provides internet services and uses and sells your data.
Why would cloudflare, built from the same corporate background, be any more trustworthy?
That's just one category of stuff that ISPs do. In the context of "who do I pay to get Internet at home", cloudflare is not an option, but in the context of the internet itself they are one. Hetzner, for example, is an ISP that mainly provides server hosting. There are companies that only provide Internet service at data centers too.
