I guess it's often much simpler and cheaper to not try to hide it.

The CNAME practice is becoming more and more common. See https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/04/characterizing-cname-cloak... or https://medium.com/nextdns/cname-cloaking-the-dangerous-disg... or https://www.laquadrature.net/2020/10/05/le-deguisement-des-t...

I think proxying or doing it server side only will be implemented later when these people will be forced to hide to save their shitty business model.

CNAME cloacking has gone even further, ad company now ask you to put a A/AAAA record pointing to one of their IPs as CNAME uncloaking was working pretty well.

I think the move will be for ANAME records. ANAME is not a real record (yet), but some providers are supporting them.

It is similar to a CNAME record but instead of storing the domain name you want to map to it pulls the A record and puts that IP as your A record.
