To be fair, it's not Cloudflare's excuse, it's the entire CA/Browser Forum
Industry.

The security community has been caught before by "merely hypothetical"
exploits suddenly appearing in the wild - TCP Sequence Number Prediction
springs to mind - so now the rule is "SHA-1 is bad", it's just been purged
from the certificate world in general, and they'll be damned if they're
gonna let it back in anywhere else.
