The point is not the cost to the site operator as much as the fact they are
mandatory for operating certain sort of services. For example, try operating a
semi-popular IRC network without a protective overlay.

The problem there is than then orgs such as CloudFlare get to see so much of
Internet's traffic by virtue of site operators forcing their users to go
through them. This turns certain organizations into Google-tier threats because
they get to analyze and correlate so much data and control so much traffic.
