Not with iPhone, at least not all the data which iCloud collects. Apple also doesn’t allow third party apps to have such deep system access.
Also, what’s with the corpo apologetics and strawmanning? Capitalists will never love you.

That’s not why. People are just correcting you when you are wrong.
Icloud basic data like your password keychain or health data is end to end encrypted.
Documents and photos that you can upload if you want is encrypted but Apple has a key to it.
You can disable all that and make a 100% offline backup with a USB cable.

You could manually copy your photos from your phone to a computer with a cable and back them up. You can back up your whole iPhone to a local computer too I think.
If you aren’t happy with the controls iPhones give you then you can get an Android. That’s one of Androids main selling points over iPhones.
