You're assuming website owners are aware of the issue… How would they know? Cloudflare is just telling them it blocked a bunch of bots.

They have before and after analytics.....

They will presume the before traffic was bots? Unless they also see a drop in sales or ads they won't notice.

I mean if sales didn't drop why would they care?

If it's a ebsite that doesn't sell anything they won't notice.
