> The user desires to interact with this button because they want what it offers.

The button says only "Under attack?". How is that an offer?

> After finding Cloudflare, they can immediately see a button that solves their problem

But this button label just asks a question. How is the user to know a press will solve their problem?

To me it looks like clickbait trying to sell something.

They're selling a service that you, under a DDoS attack, want to buy?

This web page knows I am under attack? That's clever :)

But then why is it asking if I am under attack? :)

My favorite button is the "JavaScript Blocker" icon.

The number of popups asking for my email address, posting cookie notices - often without a close button, adblocker hate popups, paywall notices and begs for money has reached the outrageous stage, and I am considering blocking JavaScript by default and making it the option.

The JavaScript event horizon has arrived.
