If you are doing continuous cloud backups and using Apple services - you are already giving Apple your data and your solution is to add even more permissions? You are not going to both use any Apple service that requires an online component and keep Apple from having your data.
Isn’t it bad enough that I have a popup every time I copy and paste between apps?

For me, not really no. It reminds me I am copying information and not from some phishing app, I find it informative.
And I'm probably one of the few who actually click "Reject" to the cookie pop ups having to click no on 3742 legitimate consents.
The simple answer is everything should be opt-out. I'll opt-in if I require it because frankly, regardless to how Fort-Knox my data is $CORP still cannot be trusted.
If that’s the case, you aren’t using email either or messaging?
Strictly Signal via self-hosted VPN for messages. My email web client provided by my email server (Zimbra) which are hosted on colocated servers. 3cx for calls via self-hosted PBX.
Video conferencing instead of FaceTime are made via self-hosted Jitsi and if I am to brag all running on FreeBSD.
Out of Apple or Google I trust neither however will align with Apple more than Google. It's as close as I can get from not having data collected from mongrels.
