Worth mentioning that Cloudflare also hosts those DDOS services and prevents them from being shut down.

I spoke too strongly to say they keep them online intentionally. The services do per se violate their AUP but because CF protects their identity, CF becomes the arbiter of taking them offline, and doesn't always agree to do so.
