 iCloud isn't an alternate storage location the way you are suggesting.

 The default setting isn’t the only setting.  You can have a device with 128
GB of storage and 2 TB of data in iCloud if that’s what you want.

iCloud definitely *is* a storage option, Apple even says so:
    "Store, organize and collaborate on files and folders
     with iCloud Drive. Easily upload, delete or recover
     files."
iCloud, if you use the syncing options, is not is a backup solution though. It's too easy for a file / photo to be deleted from a device and then it disppears from all your devices (although there is a grace period where you can get it back).
