Except that when you don't have the disk space on your SSD to download the stuff from iCloud, the whole thing doesn't work. I think you've a conspiracy theory here.

When you don't, the local files that haven't been accessed in some time are deleted and only a local alias is kept. Next time you need it, it'll be downloaded.

Almost every cloud service (icloud, dropbox, box, onedrive) now has on-demand access to files to download them when actually opened.
