Me too. Take a look at Time Machine. As the author said, Time Machine made "backups fun, so people will want to do it". I think the time vortex background helps in achieving that. And they removed it.
The vortex gave some hype to backup 10 years ago. Was it enough to make backup widespread? Interestingly: no - backup is still under 50% among Mac users. And for those did use TM, it made the thing slower.
So moving on, cloud looks like a safer approach to backup because no friction. Yes, data security, etc. From a public service POV, though, for 99% people out there, I bet the trade off is hugely favorable to cloud stockage vs local disk failure.
So now - is iCloud drive sexy enough to want to use it? Actually that's more like the problem, it's definitely not.
