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.

Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.
There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
seconding rsync and syncthing.
the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.
rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.
this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?
rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.
