It doesn’t matter that much for Broadcom customers. Apple isn't going to sell their chips to anyone else. It's the same situation with CPUs where Apple has a core that's as good or even better than the best x86 CPU. Neither Intel nor AMD are particularly worried because they don't really compete against Apple directly and Apple won't sell those chips to anyone else of the companies who buy CPUs from AMD/Intel.

The only people who see any benefit are Apple customers, but If place this into the category of nice to have, but not the kind of thing I'd expect to notice. No one is particularly threatened by Apple's chip being better because Apple doesn't sell chips, they sell iDevices.

It would work a lot better if Cloudflare and any competitors would adopt a model that allows companies to easily use any of their services and rather than subscribing to one company's service to implement a pay-as-you-go option. That way if Cloudflare gets hit websites can flip to using something else on a temporary basis. Companies could even load balance across the different services so that all of them are always getting a little bit of use. This isn't particularly good for any one company (who would much rather prefer to be a sole contractor and get all of the business) but it makes it practically impossible to take out websites by taking down Cloudflare. If any one provider has problems everyone temporarily switches to the other providers on a temporary basis until service is restored and then they can move some or all of their traffic back. This makes for a far more resistant Internet as a whole.
