iCloud backup is on by default.

No - setting up an iPhone from new doesn’t even require an iCloud account. If you set up iCloud it will enable backups, but even then you can disable them without disabling ‘all of icloud’ as GP claims.

The fact that iCloud is not required to activate does not change the fact that iCloud is on by default and iCloud backup is also on by default.

No, they also broke all forms of watch input. There is zero UI for shortcuts on the watch, so I can’t tap a complication and use a simple menu to fetch ETAs for public transit anymore.

You missed what the parent was saying - assign your shortcut a Siri phrase and then use it in your watch. I’ve been doing that since the Shortcuts beta started and it’s fine.

It doesn’t work when the background actions require some form of interaction

who cares

At some level you have a point, but on the level of Hacker News as a discussion forum on the internet with a specific purpose and established conventions, as well as guidelines which document the primary ones, this point doesn't land. So could you please comment civilly and substantively? That's why we're here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
