Well of course they don't on PC. Xbox is run by Microsoft they're kind of obligated to embrace cloud storage as they now have their own cloud storage service and give 5GB away for free for any microsoft account. This is a company bigger than Sony and Nintendo combined. They better not cost anything on Xbox. Cloud storage isn't just something that happens, that data has to be stored somewhere and on something. For $20 I don't think we can really ask for more from Nintendo. Up the price and maybe. Financially and technically Nintendo is not Microsoft, so I don't think we can expect them to do the exact same things Microsoft does for what they're charging.

Can you elaborate on that? It's not like Console manufacturer are the only ones who have to pay for their servers.

There's exactly one reason why Sony and Nintendo charging money for cloud saves and it's exactly the same reason why they charging money for online play.
BECAUSE THEY CAN

Well...you can manually back up your own saves on PC (Especially with Steam) if you know where to look. I just found my Dragon Quest XI saves on My Documents folder. People have been doing it for years. From here, there's tons of free cloud based services you can use to back it up manually. Like OneDrive, Mega, GDrive, Dropbox, etc. Onedrive even updates it automatically.
