Why does this need iCloud and not just use the client?

I have three issues with that design: 1) privacy, 2) Apple banning your iCloud account for some reason without recourse, 3) and this further gives BigTech more control to wall off part of the web.

And it looks like they went and did this with CloudFlare and Fastly without requests for comments like most web standards?

There's a (draft) RFC with contributions from four companies. It's not, despite what this dumpster fire of an article implies, some kind of Apple-specific innovation.

Yet Fasty and Cloudlfare are using this while it’s still in Draft?

This is related to the Privacy Pass protocol that Cloudflare has been working on for a while. Their current implementation uses a browser extension. https://blog.cloudflare.com/privacy-pass-v3/
