As far as I understand they're an American company, so if some government agency wants to have information, they will make them give the information by any means necessary.
I don't get this attitude. Do you expect or want companies NOT to obey law? Or have criminals serve you DNS, which try to evade law?
Say whatever about the feasibility of this, just don’t try to make it a binary option between law-abiding or criminal.
Of course not. I expect privacy conscious companies to incorporate in privacy friendly countries. Or, to put it the other way around, I evaluate company privacy claims in the context of the law they operate in.
In USA the law provides them with a legal excape to avoid that moral stand, which they promptly do.
It is not about "obeying law" as much as a the work of a soldier is "obeying superiors orders". There are moral limits. Now grow up and get to know yours.
Whose law? US law in this space says a lot about the rights of US citizens but a lot less about the rights of non-US citizens. So, yes it's reasonable to expect that a US company should obey the law but it doesn't follow that there's no reasonable concern with that.
Having said that, I applaud Cloudfare for making this step. Just because something isn't NSA proof doesn't mean that it has no value. But the concern is valid given that Cloudfare, presumably, still have access to the lookup data.
They won't be able to pass historic data as they, presumably, don't have it. But if they are formally requested to give information, at least for targeted users, my understanding is that they are legally obliged to comply i.e. they can't refuse to collect if asked.
I believe there are caveats to that e.g. they can't be forced to backdoor an application but I don't believe that that would be necessary in this case.

PS The official name is "Kingdom of the Netherlands", I guess that solidifies my point about Holland being easier :)
That's kind of shifting the goalposts though. It's not like I'm introducing myself as "from the Federal Republic of Germany", either.
You should, just for the sake of these looks at parties.
I am not from one of the Hollands and I try to avoid using Holland but I will do so sometimes. It's a bit like using America for the United States which seems more wrong to me than using Holland for the Netherlands.
Also, in Ireland we typically refer to our country as such though perhaps it should be formally referred to as "The Republic of Ireland" to avoid confusion with "The North".
That said it does actually say "Ireland" on the constitution.
While I'm at it, in Irish language: "Eireann" is the Island itself; "Eire" is the nation (the spirit of Ireland if you like), and constitutionally the latter isn't bounded by political borders.
"Sasana" (sawsunna) is England and to describe something as English is "Sasanach". "Amach" (Ahmock) is out. Run the two together and you've got "Sasamach" which is Irish for Brexit.
Funnily enough it also corresponds to an old Republican mantra "Brits Out" which was used to refer to their presence on the north. Funny the turn that history can take.

Does someone know what do they get out of it ?
In Poland, with quite good internet connection, random quite popular domain (around 18mln visitors a month), I get times reported by dig @: ISP: 32ms Google (8.8.8.8): 30ms 1.1.1.1: 112ms (domain TTL was 1557, so result from their own cache)
Plus, what was mentioned here before. "Privacy First: Guaranteed" + free service. For sure! :)
Other then that: I would not use it. Cloudflare already has enough insight into my browsing. No reason to give them my whole DNS request history.
I thought first that it might be an issue with the region but i can't find any one which showes that b and h are quick.
