When I buy something on amazon, what is important is the stuff delivered, not the delivery man.
You would filter packages from entering home based on the delivery man ? Insane ? Yes this is an insane behavior. As if one delivery man were dedicated per home, as it was in 1994. INSANE.
In theory this would also work for IPs if not for the IP laundering OOP criticised.
Cloudflare chooses to hide thousands of IPs on a single IP - this is a technical choice, not a system necessity. There are of course many reasons for those and many of them legitimate, but it doesn't mean this is the right approach (and with IPv6 certainly other options are possible...)

Unless you are against CDNs (they do serve a real-world purpose, tho), then it is a system necessity;
The delivery guy knowingly delivers drugs, it's written on the package, and the authorities told him to stop doing that.
Then what to do ? Remove the license of that most specific delivery guy.
That's what they try to do (though it would be easier if the delivery guy would collaborate of course).
Not saying that blocking internet hosts is a good thing, but I don't see what else they can do, if the counterparty is not compliant :|
(DNS blocking doesn't work anymore as browsers provide circumvention methods by default, and blocking the whole BGP peer has too much side-effects because it blocks all the legitimate delivery guys too)
So it's a good thing that they're clowns at this.
Also called "URSS", where kind people read your mail and inspect your stuff etc.
Perfect;
