This is not my experience, I have received many updates both through email and updates to the cloudflare status page throughout the incident, except for possibly the first 10 minutes
You're probably talking about the yellow note at the top of the page (which is still there, with a little more detail now). That was updated and is fine.
I'm talking about the service indicators for each service lower down the page, which remained green throughout and appear to be just decoration, not an actual indication of service status, they all said operational throughout the incident (I reloaded a few times).
In particular I'm thinking of the Cloudflare Sites and Services section.
