It only affects Cloudflare hosted sites though.

That's true, but it's the Cloudflare customer who decides what to block by default with their Firewall setting mode, and custom rules etc

the default is to block most malicious sites or something which is in their opinion everything outside of regular US and Europe networks. And that's wrong. Many people also do not change defaults.

No, it affects visitors of “Cloudflare hosted sites”. It also affects all sites not hosted by CloudFlare.

You are complaining about the use of IP as an imperfect signal. Everyone involved knows that. But it’s still better than the current alternatives.
