Lol, why is that another paid service?

Because they are hosting those files for you.

And why is it a separate service from iCloud?

Because it’s more than just hosting them. Look I’m not a salesperson nor a fanboy. But years ago before I was into self hosting I was very happy to pay $15CAD/year for iTunes to host my obscure music and integrate it seamlessly with Apple Music. AFAIK there are no similar competing products.

If you’re not interested then don’t use it!

I won't, but I will still mock it.
