Cloudflare Registrar offers domains at cost, which makes it the least expensive option for the TLDs it supports:

If you use Google Domains, you risk losing access to the domains if Google suspends or terminates your Google account for some reason unrelated to the domains.

You can add multiple Google accounts to admin a domain. Increases the survivability of access to them.

They better not be on the same G Suite account.

Google Domains charges $12.00/year for .com renewals, compared to $8.56/year at Porkbun and $8.03/year at Cloudflare. With Google's reputation for poor support, most domain owners simply have no good reason to use Google Domains.
