Why does nobody want the cloudflare solution? Sounds neat
The Apple/Cloudflare solution solves some problems (no fingerprinting) while introducing others (Apple or Cloudflare can just decide you can't access the internet anymore even for servers not hosted behind Cloudflare's network). It also comes with a privacy risk (Cloudflare can see how many Cloudflare-based CAPTCHAs you're solving, which means they can basically monitor when you're behind your computer).
I do believe that the Apple/Cloudflare solution is the most privacy friendly option currently on the table, but it's still far from perfect. I don't like the idea of Apple going "that's enough internet for today" and locking you out until the servers trust you again.
