Either way, at any given time there’s tons of traffic leaving your network, it just means that software is active, not that a human is active. On top of that, Cloudflare probably isn’t selling the fact that an ICMP ping was received at their DNS server directly to spammers quickly enough for them to act and put an email at the top of your inbox, assuming that spam isn’t caught by a spam filter first.
If the other traffic is already correlated to your IP, then what additional info does an ICMP echo leak?
ICMP doesn’t reveal any personal details. As opposed to say when you visit with the web browser where you can be fingerprinted, and perhaps have that tied to the rest of your browsing history or real world identity.
