CF's business model is to protect websites from Bad traffic (which it apparently defines as non-human traffic). It does this by deciding whether any given connection is from an human or a not. And to decide that, in practice, requires it to track humans.
Or from the opposite direction, in practice every single time I add more privacy tools to my collection, CF puts more "are you sure you're human?" pages in my way. Motivations they tell themselves they have ultimately matter very little in light of what they're actually doing to the web.
