Got a similar message on Digital Ocean for their App Platform/static pages, does DO use Cloudflare underneath?

Yes, DO uses Cloudflare to at least protect (and cache) their main website.

https://hostingchecker.com is a good resource to see where a website is hosted.

Looks like that site has a misleading name. It isn’t telling me who I am hosting with. It’s only telling me that I have cloudflare in front of it.

If Cloudflare is masking your origin to provide WAF capabilities, which it does for most - then I'd say this is expected results.

It is expected result yes. Not disagreeing with you on that. I am simply saying that CF is not "hosting" the site. It's the middle man. The host is hidden.
