why does railway require full tls settings if using cloudflare?

I was wondering why railway requires full tls/ssl settings when using cloudflare? Just a conceptual question and im wondering what the benefit of it is

it's required so that you don't get infinite redirects I'm curious as to why you have something that needs to be ran on flexible?

whats different on railway that would cause infinite rediercts vs a normal server? i'd host it on railway but its has a part that would be considered a scraper so i dont want to

because railway has provided a cname that has its own cert

its basically just a flask api running on port 80 and i pointed an a record at it but dont have a ssl cert on the server if theres an admin seeing this - i have the non scraping version running on railway atm while my app is going through app store review. i plan on moving it over but the railway version currently has NO scraper okay. ig i need to look into cnames more and how all this works
