My “cloud account“ is on linode and it’s cheaper, less of a hassle, and more feature complete than Microsoft’s/google’s/apple’s offerings.

Nope - setting up an iCloud account is filling in a username and password. Your approach doesn’t even come close to being anywhere near that easy.

It also requires buying an iPhone and almost none of the features work with your desktop (unless it’s a mac) so IMO that’s not so easy.

Actually there is a web version of most of the service and also a native Windows client.

It doesn’t require buying an iPhone. Nor a Mac.
