Why does the Messages icon not show up in iCloud?

I have Messages enabled for iCloud on both my iPhone and my MacBook but when I sign into iCloud there is no Messages icon. Why if it is supposed to be backed up there with everything else? Is there a way to get it there? I'm looking for a way to access my texts not on my phone. Thanks!User uploaded file

No, there is no Messages web App in the iCloud website and no way to view messages there. Messages are stored in iCloud, but only accessible through the Messages app on each device.
