They provide a whole lot more to begin with.

Sure, which is why I said:

(Sure, WAF etc. but you get the point).

An online casino would mostly benefit from WAF, DDoS protection and caching.

The arguments I was responding to is like saying that if you get too many web attacks they should kick you because the WAF is not anymore profitable. It doesn't make any sense.

They didn't get kicked out. Just moved to a more expensive solution / pricing structure

Cloudflare wasn’t going to eat that loss anymore so they kicked them to the curb to save money.

I am arguing with the logic that claims this is reasonable, not discussing what they did.

I don't have a problem saying that they should charge more, but it's them who made an unlimited plan to become a monopoly charging 250/month.
