My very capable 2015 Macbook Pro running Mac OS Monterrey can no longer sync with Icloud???? ..because of planned obsolescence??? The cost of Macs are obscene already...please tell me there is a work around.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6
First step specific to iCloud syncing and only that issue
FYI - much like previous Contributor, have ancient Mac Mini 2011 stuck on High Sierra 10.13.6 and 3 different M1 / M2 Machines running Ventura 13.4 plus iPhone with iOS 16.5 and all devices work as expended. The Only exception is the Old Reminder in High Sierra does not sync to the newer version of Reminder is Ventura.. To be expected as HS was released 2017
Sign OUT of iCloud completely.
Shutdown the machine
Restart and sign back into iCloud
Still having issue >>
Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test
Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again
Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.
It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer
The application is free or paid from added features.

I have zero problems with iCloud on a Late 2015 5K iMac running Monterey 12.6.6.

Just to add, my g/f's 2011 iMac running High Sierra is having no issue with iCloud. So I don't think it's "planned obsolescence".
Macbook Pro running MacOS Monterrey can no longer sync with iCloud?
