This is really a step backwards for most users. Before users had everything automatically backed up by the cloud. Now they would have to have a more complex on boarding process where they will probably skip some advanced technical option they have no clue about. I don't use Xiaomi devices, but cloud support on other platforms has been great for me. I never make manual backups and yet it is irrelevant to me if I lose a laptop, have it stolen, swap phones, whatever because everything just automatically comes back thanks to the cloud. Except for some banking authentication I only keep in my head, I have no privacy concerns anyway, so all these nutsos holding back cloud from the masses are actually a big detractor to the platform for me.
