The allegation is that Cloudflare's in the (anycast) CDN business, hence its customers do not require EDNS (ECS) to be steered to the geographically-nearest server, and so, they naturally want to kill EDNS (ECS) and that privacy's just an excuse.
As a consumer, I agree with what Cloudflare's doing (though they could potentially engineer a solution to send fake/blind EDNS (ECS)). Wearing my developer hat, I also agree with archive.is' decision to stage a protest.
