your house isn't going into foreclosure because your shop went down for a day.

You're living in a bubble. I know enough people who live paycheck to paycheck and always have exactly $0 in their pocket before the end of the month. It's pretty normal in some parts of the world, maybe even most of them.

I mean, you don't really know that, do you?

Maybe Tuesdays tend to be a big day for me, and instead of "down for a day", it's "lose almost a quarter of my income for the month".

Cloudflare is pretty pervasive, there are all kinds of people and businesses, in all kinds of situations, impacted by this.

That's a weirdly flippant response to what's a serious issue, but I'll give it the courtesy of a reply anyway - maybe not, but a business not making enough profit might go under, or they might only have to fire someone to prevent that from happening.
