Why are you comparing a mobile platform with a desktop computer?
Most things on your phone are likely to be on the cloud somewhere anyway.

Comparing macOS with Windows would be more appropriate and you'd find
things to be more similar. Although, Time machine is so much easier to use
than any windows equivalent.
