Google Drive increases the data you have with Google and encourages you to use other services like Gmail or GSuite. This increases the time you spend with their apps which increases the chances of clicking an in-app advertisement.

Apple doesn't sell ads so there isn't a financial benefit to them releasing iCloud Drive on Android.

Apple sells iCloud subscriptions though. And yet you're not worthy of their privacy if you didn't buy their completely DRM locked devices where they control even the content you're allowed to see.
You can access https://www.icloud.com/#iclouddrive from any device.

Are you complaining that there is no app?
