Is iCloud no longer accessible to iphone 8s and earlier models?

I have seen some saying they cannot accept terms and conditions due to it being stuck in a loop after choosing “Continue”. I only recently found out that these devices are no linger supported as of September 16th, 2024. Even so does this necessarily mean I can’t access my icloud from these devices and force me to buy a new apple product? If so, that’s kinda messed up. Will this not allow me to back up what’s still on my older devices without icloud access, making it lost forever?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

The requirements are based on the iOS version that the iPhone can run.

System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support

If you have old iPhones, you may be able to still conenct them to a computer to gain access to most types of data. The following document describes doing this, make sure to read all the way to the section called "More ways to transfer photos and videos to your computer":
