Cloudflare has offered SSL & SNI for paid customers for ages. You're missing the point.

yeah, no.

We've offered SSL for 4 years now. This is entirely different. Cloudfront, for example, doesn't give you SSL for free.

Customers have to pay for dedicated ipv4 address space. There's no way around that. SNI should be free as they don't require dedicated IPs. But it doesn't look like that was the case for cloudflare
