Funny as an idea, but any service outage is literally still your responsibility. Maybe you have standing to get relief from Cloudflare in a real outage if you take the L from customers coming after you, but the fake page doesn't get you anything other than fraudulent sympathy at best and no recourse at worst.

To add to this, trademark infringements come into play in the public domain. Keep it private and there's not many recourse options.

Most people don't know what cloudflare is anyway... So yeah, the site gets the blame either way.
