Different jurisdiction means less likely to be answerable to your local government should they be oppressive.
The fact you don't have a contractual relationship with a CDN is a good thing because it becomes trivial simply to stop using them, should the need arise. Don't like Cloudflare? block them. Your choice of websites will be reduced greatly but you still have an operational internet connection.
