But an infrastructure can make bad decisions at any point. They could terminate the tls connection at a wrong node, they could store your data unencrypted, they could... All of this is not on the user. It's on the company. And if they do decide to use Cloudflare this way it is their architecture decision.

Yes, that is all understood. The fact remains, however, that they are basically subverting what that lock means. It's ALL ON THE COMPANY, but I can't tell as a user that they have broken it, and in fact, my browser is SAYING it's secure. The company is deciding to make it lie. THAT IS A PROBLEM.
