Actually, I have a really good counter example but I'm unwilling to share it publicly, as I don't want to dox myself.

But the gist of it is that CF sales are really good at identifying users that are both locked into their offerings and big enough to be able to sign an expensive contract.

CF do have an excellent offering and workers, in particular, are amazing for many things.

Once the above conditions hit though, you will invariably get a call from the sales team. There is no free lunch.

    as I said in another comment, if you allow yourself to become deeply intertwined with a 3rd party service provider that's on you

There are several counter examples in the comments on this page.

    none of which seem to have given their bandwidth figures.

      Their usage was finite.

      So if cloudflare’s offer is really unlimited and free, they haven’t exceeded it.

        "everyone knows" that unlimited basically anything has limits.

        I'd be shocked if CF actually allowed you to use a couple hundred PB/month for free. And that's still finite!!
