The article is talking as if the total number of domains on Cloudflare is an important metric. In terms of Cloudflare traffic, this drop will be lost in the noise.
I'm sure none of these domains were big traffic movers, but the change is still quite significative:
The affected domains represent a big loss for Cloudflare, with .tk, .cf and .gq previously accounting for 23.1% of all domains hosted on its platform – and nearly all of these have now gone.
Some companies trigger alarms if any of its KPIs drop single-digit percent rates. 23% is a massive drop by anyone's account. I'm sure Cloudflare will survive and barely feel a bump on the road, but I'm not convince that it will amount to noise.

Yea, They'll probably be relieved they don't have to host scam traps as most of the freenom domain extensions were used for.
