It blows my mind that someone would judge a company for not hosting a literal neonazi website.

If you think KF was a literal neonazi site, either you don't know what "literal" means or you have a ridiculously broad definition of "neonazi."

Given the absolute state of modern American politics, I'm afraid it's the latter, but who knows.

I was referring to Stormfront there and how you called that situation "the Stormfront debacle", as if the bad thing about the situation was CF stopping working with them.

Actually, somewhat related: it turns out that the owner of KF was also hosting a literal neonazi website in addition to KF. (https://twitter.com/keffals/status/1566335693663731712) If I did seem to call KF or its owner neonazi, I don't think it would be completely in the wrong to do so.

It makes sense if you're worried about the US becoming nazi itself. If a company will bow to the prevailing narrative, and naziism becomes popular in the US, won't cloudflare bow to that group also? Or, let's imagine a world where 90% of Americans are anti-abortion. Will Cloudflare host pro-choice sites, or will it bow to pressure from religious group and shut those down also? Having a backbone is kind of the Cloudflare business model. Of course there are limits to that, and banning nazis is one that most people can agree with. But I think if you're trying to stand up to, say, the CCP, Cloudflare isn't going to be very appealing.

Today it's this, tomorrow it's something else. Not CP or DDoS-for-hire though, Cloudflare will happily protect those forums and services.
