Apple TV, now with more Tailscale
I would argue that it is exactly in line with Apple's brand identity.
Pretty much everybody agrees that you need to backup your cloud storage as well as your local computer, and Apple even backs up your i-devices to the cloud, and yet, there is no automated way of backing up your iCloud storage.
About a decade ago, Google initiated the Data Transfer Framework[1] that allows you to transfer data from one cloud provider to another, directly from provider to provider instead of downloading it first. It sadly appears to not have gotten enough traction to be of any use.

Kopia vs Duplicacy
Once/If Data Transfer Project takes off, I’m hoping I will be able to schedule cloud to cloud backups without transferring data home first.

Apple Reportedly Storing over 8M Terabytes of iCloud Data on Google Servers
It's not just your parents.
I've moved everything to the cloud. I have nothing running at home except networking gear, and a small "server" that pulls nightly backups from the clouds to a local USB drive.
In theory i could probably do without the local server if looking at Apple/Microsoft/Google data redundancy (Microsoft is multi geo, i can't figure out what Apple is).
Sadly i need to guarantee that some random account closure doesn't remove all my data, so the backup server stays for now. The way cloud prices are going, it will only be a question of months/years before it's cheaper/easier to just utilize two cloud services, one for main storage and one for backup storage, and with projects like the data transfer project [1], you don't even need to download them first.

Apple now lets you transfer your iCloud Photos to Google Photos
That's interesting, and it's the first I've heard of the project. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Apple has yet released the adaptors to the open source project [1]. As much as I'm not interested in having Apple copy my photos to Google, I am very interested in scripting my own offline backups without having to make space for Photos.app to store all my photos on my laptop's SSD. Hopefully the adaptors are added to the project soon.

Building an e-ink picture frame that displays an iCloud photo album
> They don't offer an appropriate API to get photos out.
There's this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit "The framework provides access to photos on the person’s device and in iCloud."
If you want to use undocumented APIs on non-Apple devices directly, there are projects like https://github.com/steilerDev/icloud-photos-sync and https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... that appear to be able to do this.
- I have an extra pi4 I’m mailing to my parents to create a cloud drive for their home since they’re privacy sensitive. What’s the easiest way to make the pi read/writeable from their iPhones at home?

Self-hosted photo and video backup solution directly from your mobile phone
I use https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... running on my NAS to regularly download photos from my wife's iCloud account. The photos are stored in full resolution on iCloud with the EXIF data, unlike Google Photos, so that's nice. The only annoyance is that you need to reauthorize the tool every three months. But it sends you a reminder when the time is coming up.
