They are, but because this is all Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 service does, that log only tells you that the IP address used Cloudflare's service.

So whereas this Thai data more or less says e.g. You watched Netflix between 18:40 and 19:26 and then again 21:33 to 22:09 the Cloudflare data says you own a device that uses Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service. Maybe you can try to do some kind of activity estimate e.g. me idly browsing random web sites probably causes more DNS queries versus a SmartTV just periodically doing auto-updates when I'm asleep, but the 2000:1 dilution would make that more unreliable.

It isn't strictly nothing but it's damn close.

If the attacker also have access to the anonymized data set which is stored for 25hrs they should be able to deanonymize quite a bit of the data by just comparing time stamps and finding patterns.

It is much better than just having normal logs laying around, and since the data is split in two data set, there is a possibility that having access to one does not automatic result in having access to the other. The dilution is also helpful, through I am uncertain to the extent given the amount of traffic generated.
