An extension that tries to to block cloudflare is getting closer to making your original statement true, but it's still not true.

There aren't obvious signs up front that a site is using cloudflare. Failure to spend time investigating is not "freely choosing it".

You're joking, right?

It takes 2 seconds to click the padlock in your browser, click through once more, and see "Verified by: Cloudflare, Inc". You don't even need to view the certificate.

If 2 seconds and 2 clicks is too much time and effort, it's obviously not actually that important to the user in question.

It's not always that simple.
