Cloudflare is one of the DNS providers for the "DNS over HTTPS" (DoH) service inside browsers, and it may well be the default choice. If your browser is configured to use DoH, and it's set to use 1.1.1.1, it's pushing its DNS resolution calls through Cloudflare.
As such, Cloudflare makes for a good choke point for the music and movie consortiums to use to lock out resolution of these sites based on the user's geo-located IP.
Me, I turned off DoH as soon as I heard about this new service. I run my own local Bind9 server with protection against malware sites, and I didn't want them doing an end-run around that layer of protection.
