No problem, thanks for reading. I don't work for Cloudflare, but I worry it's a little too easy to call something shit when you don't fully understand it.
There are numerous factors at play here even outside of frameworks and browsers. I haven't worked with Cloudflare's tools but where I work we allow each customer to fine tune detections. One site's detections might be too aggressive for another site. Believe it or not, some customers are ok with bot traffic so long as it's not overly aggressive. That said, detections can trigger based on behavior, such as high volumes of requests, as well as IP reputation.
Even with the bypasses that are available, or instances when you are able to use a bot and not be challenged, it doesn't diminish how well these tools work. There are reasons people are implementing these types of antibot solutions across the web.
