I’m sure for many people it is true that the USA government is a major threat, but neither “USA” nor “government” appear in the article/rant, and ideally an article written for these people wouldn’t single CloudFlare out, but would list major companies that this applies to equally
I’d even take this further and say that we shouldn’t trust software (or hardware) vendors that are beholden to laws in any of the Five Eyes countries ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes )
Just read the BBC article, see the link I postex above. The US government was directly involved when they started Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s CEO leaves no doubt about that.
The biggest point against cloudflare is that it is a US-based company and is vulnerable to US government spying.

Australia’s Assistance and Access Bill 2018 surely damages the credibility of Australian vendors, possibly even more than USA vendors: https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/Australian-Assistance-and-Access-Bill
