  I don’t remember Time Machine backing up to someone else’s server.

    iCloud does, and if memory serves you can’t remove that either. But like iCloud, you can simply not sign in.

      You have to enable iCloud to upload to it. I’ve been uploading to local encrypted disks for years

      You can always finely control what goes into iCloud and what does not.

      Time Machine backups have to be opted-in if you want to save it to iCloud.
