“Apple does not allow users to back up their data via third-party storage providers.” — don’t know if I agree with that statement. You can back it up locally via iTunes and then sync the folder with whatever provider you want. It’s not as easy but it’s certainly doable. I used to run that way for the longest time before I said fuck it and moved to iCloud.

Why would one have to connect to other Apple service to back up the data to another provider? Sounds like intentional anticompetitive friction.
