Tale as old as time (or at least as the 1970s): nobody ever got fired for buying ~~IBM~~ Cloudfare / AWS / Azure.
9 out of 10 corporate decisions are for blame avoidance / ass covering.

It's actually a great service though.
It's also a great protection racket. They host many DDoS provider sites and protect them from law enforcement.
Someone's eager to downvote this, but it's been known for a long time and still happens in obvious ways. First page of results for booter services contains https://zeusstress.com/ which is hosted by Cloudflare (yes yes, ceo will send lawyers to say they only proxy not host - doesn't matter in practice)
.. 9 out of 10 unhappy customers are currently unable to cause any blame, because they cannot even reach customer service because they are getting the "bot" treatment.
