Cloudflare with their "checking if the site connection is secure" (while being MITM) is another example.

You may as well say all load-balancers are MITM because you might connect to a different host on each attempt and there's a man in the middle influencing your connection.
What makes it any different if the website executed the same logic cloudflare is on their own box?
Without Cloudflare it's highly unlikely that 20% of websites _would_ implement the same logic.
I am convinced all their metrics saying they reduce bot traffic are mistaken for the fact that they reduce all traffic by annoying users away.
