Hmm, almost like what happend to the internet... the idea being "everything is decentralized", but now +80% of traffic passes through Cloudflare and over 90% of mails come from 2 providers!

Cloudflare absolutely does not control 80% of internet traffic. I have no idea where you got that number from.

This article says 80% of known websites, which are 19% of all websites. Probably where it came from.
