cant buy more iCloud storage for some odd reason

There are three major advantages of having iCloud Storage as I see it.
- iCloud syncs your iPhone data and keeps backup safely for future use if your iPhone is damaged or lost. The data is safe on iCloud
- You can save space on your iPhone by keeping low-resolution photos on your iPhone and keep the originals on iCloud. Whenever you open a photo on your iPhone it will fetch the original photo from iCloud and display it to you, provided you have internet. --> Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support
- You get more space on iCloud Drive and keep any file on it safely, Also you can view and delete them from any device.
iCloud Drive is part of iCloud Storage. What you store in iCloud Drive counts against your storage limit.
See the pic below. These are things which you can view. There are many things that you can't view such as messages, backup, message attachments etc..
