Does my iPhone SE have to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to back up my info to the cloud? Why can’t I just use my regular service?
It does have to be connected to wi-fi to backup to iCloud. See: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you. I cannot answer the "why" part of the question.

You need Wi-Fi for an iCloud backup, which can get really huge and use lots of data (and capacity on the carrier’s network). You can sync to iCloud over cellular data, however. iCloud Syncing is completely independent of iCloud Backups, even though the both have “iCloud” in their names.
