You can get to the cloud using LTE, 4G, or 5G cell service.
I don't see where anyone claimed that wifi was required. You need to be online and, as you point out, mobile phones can get online without wifi. On the other hand, if you are attempting to transfer files to a computer (desktop, laptop, tablet) then you will most likely use wifi.

I wouldn’t use a flash drive either for files, I would get a usb disk that doesn’t need any external power. But that’s the last thing I would do.
If somebody can come in and steal your computer, where are your important files? Probably not encrypted, probably not password protected.
And people wonder how their valuable info gets in the wrong hands.
My external disk is stored safely and securely away from my computer. That way any issue with the computer does not affect the backup of my important files.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
