iCloud isn't an alternate storage location the way you are suggesting.

iCloud's primary purpose is synchronizing content between all of your
devices. If you add a file to iCloud, it is automatically synced
(transferred) to all of your other devices. If you delete something from
one device, it gets deleted from all of your other devices and iCloud.
There are more suitable services available for generic cloud file
storage.

I don't store my entire photo library in iCloud. Doing so would cause me
to pay a monthly or yearly subscription, and I'm not interested in doing
that when I have lots of storage right on my Mac.

I have multiple virtual machines, Docker containers, video editing
projects, and lots of other things on my Mac that simply aren't suitable
for cloud storage.

I back up my Apple mobile devices to my computer rather than the cloud. 

The list goes on...

Like I said, I realize my needs aren't representative of most users. And
I don't mind paying for more internal storage on my Macs.
