(Relatively) high latency compared to other services

I noticed that Cloudflare Pages latency is (relatively) quite a bit high compared to Vercel and Netlify.

I sent 100 requests to each of these providers and measured the latency to download a txt file containing just
Hello!
, only counting requests that used an already established connection to the server:

Vercel:
95th Percentile: 23.9ms
50th Percentile: 9.9ms

Netlify:
95th Percentile: 7.9ms
50th Percentile: 6.8ms

Cloudflare Pages:
95th Percentile: 82.3ms
50th Percentile: 52.6ms

This is from a VPS from Hetzner in Germany. I get similar results from my home connection in the Netherlands. How come Cloudflare Pages has the highest latency, given the amount of PoPs Cloudflare has?

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Cloudflare Pages, just wondering if there's something unusual going on here.
