This is used to scrape third-party sites not necessarily behind cloudflare so it has nothing to do with whether cloudflare caches it or not plus when using their browser rendering it doesn't even fetch cached responses anyways....

I didn't know that it doesn't fetch catched responses, my apologies. I had only read through it with a glance and it felt like something that cloudflare might've done. Is there any particular reason that they don't use the cached responses, feels like a missed opportunity but maybe I am missing something?

It's a browser rendering API which means people are paying a premium specifically to have a browser render a live website. If you want to get a cached response of a page and still possibly get blocked by cloudflare you could just make a node script with a simple fetch and save your money.
