You absolutely can "drag" whatever photos you want, from iCloud (or another source) to your Hard Drive.
Your basic misunderstanding, is you appear to operate your iPhone & computer as a basic, "one size fits all" unit. That's not how it works in the real world. Photos/pictures/files have different origins and sources. Photo Library is nothing more than an idiot proof dumping ground (Folder) for iPhone photos.

To clarify, you can put your photos into ICloud manually, but you can also turn on the "sync" setting which will automatically upload your photos to the cloud whenever you take a photo. Some people have this setting turned on, but they don't know it, and they are surprised when their ICloud storage gets filled up.
