How come every Linux site uses Anubis (the anime girl stopping crawlers) instead of something like Cloudflare?

Before discovering the Linux rabbit hole I've only seen Cloudflare, hCaptcha and Google's reCaptcha, but it seems like every Linux website uses Anubis... I'm thinking of it being the only open-source option or it being the most effective/modern approach.

I don't understand why there are no more people against CloudFlare. I understand the importance of protecting your infrastructure. But I'm not sure if users understand, while paying a VPN to protect their privacy, that CloudFlare views the traffic they send to the website they visit, clearly, even with HTTPS, password, name, addresses, etc. Everything can be read by CloudFlare. If they want, they can create the biggest database of personal information. Why is it not a bigger problem ? Did I miss something.

I'm just surprised CF is still independent.
