I cannot agree to that reasoning. A project should be consistent, and
I wonder why the official GNU software cannot be consistent in its
hosting, isn't the hosting most easiest matter to solve today?

And it should be quite easy to make one's own CDN or Content Delivery
Network. Free software is available for such, including under the GNU
GPL:

So the choice for GNU software to be hosted with Cloudflare, is very
poor choice. Programmers know it better.

Finally, GNU has so many mirrors, it offers already best service to
users worldwide. Opportunities are all there, they are just not used.
