Yes. That is why I want a Hardware Product with Software Model like iPhone. I want my NAS / HomeServer with all the OS and Software included. With Security update for at least 8 years. ( Synology is the closest thing we have got )

Apple could have done this, but they were so focused on their Services Revenue they want everyone to subscribe to their iCloud. They could have allow the NAS / HomeServer to backup to their cloud.

Actually, they do allow this. I store my photos and iPhone backup on synology NAS. You just have to devote some time to set it up yourself.
