The point is that it's possible for a company to focus on one thing for a long time. Do you dispute this?
I am, surprisingly, capable of understanding that companies can exist for long periods of time. Time to walk away lol

I'm really getting tired of this kind of take. You never really see that if AWS adds a product, or GCP adds a product or any other products from bigger CDNs. What do you suggest? Cloudflare should stop releasing products? Regulation that you are only allowed to handle x% of the total internet traffic?
I agree, this rhetoric is getting old. So we're supposed to go use one of thousands of other tiny cloud platform providers? Okay let's entertain that idea. The first bare minimum items on your vendor approval checklist are things like "can I trust this business to exist in 10 years" , "do they have enough resources to support me when shit hits the fan", and "are they mature enough to deliver on the shiny bullet point…
Capitalism requires competition. If it’s only natural that one company grows larger and better than all others, then this is bad for consumers, and in this case bad for all of us, since it limits who can even be on the internet in any meaningful way.
They really do want to be the center of everything it seems. I wish they would stop trying to be the Cisco of Networking in the sense of trying to convince a lot of people to let them handle critical network functions for a ton of networks. All it will take is one major outage for everyone to see this is a bad idea. Why trust a cloud provider who could go down and take half the Internet with it? Why centralize it tha…
> Why trust a cloud provider who could go down and take half the Internet with it? Why centralize it that much where that is even possible? The problem is that governments worldwide have done little to curb abusive behavior that makes this all but necessary to survive on the Internet: - India (for US/UK based callcenter scams) and Turkey (for German based) don't do shit against scam callcenters. There have been multi…

I do not at all understand how anyone is walled off from being on the internet, if anything I feel like it's massively insanely easier to do that today than it was twenty years ago.
It's not like capitalism doesn't have its faults, but using competition to forge winners is literally what it's meant to do. At least in my very basic layman opinion.

When using Calls, you are still using WebRTC, but the individual participants are connecting to the Cloudflare network.
