Still, iCloud also won't backup Messages, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, iCloud Photos or text messages. That information is already on your Mac via iCloud but Apple's page says it's backed up and we're not clear whether this is semantics or a separate backup. Either way, so long as you get to save your data, we're happy.
Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Safari, Siri, Keychain, etc are and always have been stored in iCloud if you have those checkboxes checked in the iCloud panel in System Preferences. Otherwise, they're stored locally and backing up your Mac would be providing your backup solution for those — though not sure why you'd not use iCloud as not doing so means none of that info is synced with your iOS devices.
Messages would rely on Messages in iCloud, as would iCloud Photo Library of course.
That was one app for one AppleInsider staffer in the years since the App Store opened and your heart is bleeding for us. Only, if we're aware of it happening to us just once, still it happens often enough to people that up until this month, Apple has provided a solution. [...] You can mock the number of steps you have to go to if what you want is to scroll through your previous purchases to find an app whose name you've forgotten. However, the facility is there and every app is available to you immediately —except it isn't and never has been.

Company goes down. I have hardware that is used with that app remotely. Why Apple would want me to lose app? Sorry but that is some reason to: stick to old iOS, or jailbreak device, or move to other platform that does not do this thing. As long as it works on iOS on particular device I do not care what their policy is as I need to use it. I got license from app creator - not from Apple. If there are logistics problems due to iCloud then that is Apple problem and it does not need to be mine.
"I got license from app creator - not from Apple" — so, like, a provisioning profile or TestFlight install or enterprise program app? How is this Apple's problem or "logistics problem due to iCloud", whatever that means?
