Cloudflare might get some benefit in the ability to track end-users across more websites as part of their efforts to determine who is a real human versus a potentially-malicious bot

It lets them get a very wide base to test products against, which in and of itself, is a huge benefit. They can test out far more edge-cases than anyone else in the industry at the moment.
