Does Google use cloudflare? Don't they do everything themselves?

Yes. They integrate as a proxy for Google's cloud stuff.

Not quite. CloudFlare is available to users of Google Cloud, but Google services don't use CloudFlare.

The only exception I could imagine would be some service that was brought in as part of an acquisition but has not yet been migrated to Google's internal platform. Obviously not applicable to products like Gmail or other core G Suite apps.
