maybe it’s a bad idea to put the entirety of the backbone of the internet on one or two private companies.

Not only because it’s a single point of failure, but also because it’s a single point of surveillance.
Cloudflare can read even modify the communications everyone has with sites behind its HTTPS service. And it can monitor people’s browsing through its DNS-over-HTTP service. And it can fingerprint people’s browsers through any of its services that use JavaScript, such as its CAPTCHA-like thing.

Cloudflare’s dominance is a huge problem exactly for this reason. Having a single point of failure is a huge risk, and it’s surprising that governments don’t view this as being a matter of national security.
As a side note, and not to “well ackshully”, but Cloudflare isn’t a backbone provider. But your point still stands lol.

Cloudflare is providing national security services to western governments. Look at where it is located and the laws it must abide by.
