On a Mac, creating encrypted local backups of your iOS device is built into MacOS.

On Windows, you create an encrypted local backup of your iOS device using iTunes.

It backs up everything. OS, Apps, and data.

I’m not claiming you’re wrong, but I think the backup includes the list of apps and versions and excludes data that can be easily downloaded from AppStore.

The cloud backup does (its description says as much!), but the local one genuinely seems to be an image that includes the binaries.
