> Services like Cloudflare, Akamai Technologies, Fastly, and Amazon CloudFront ... support millions of websites across critical sectors, including government and healthcare, making them indispensable
The author is pretty naive. There is a reason why Google was left out of the list, in the 2010s people argue "Google is too important and China never dare to block it" then google's whole IP range is blocked.
Amazon Cloudfront, Akmai, Fastly are also (partially) blocked and barely working.
IMHO cleve tricks like "domain fronting" is just freebooting
