How are so many sites OK with using cloudflare when they are basically a MITM? (alien.top)

Regardless of whether or not you provide your own SSL certificates, cloudflare still uses their own between their servers and client browsers. So any SSL encrypted traffic is unencrypted at their end before being re-encrypted with your certificate. How can such an entity be trusted?

The sites I expose to Cloudflare were already being publicly hosted for my friends. Anything actually private or sensitive I run via private DNS and Wireguard internally.
