Just happened over to icloud.com to check some notes in Notes, and there is a new interface in beta (at https://beta.icloud.com/).
It reminds me of the interface in Nextcloud that I like, with configurable tiles, etc.
This is a good avenue for accessing the Apple ecosystem from other platforms, like Linux.
I found the iCloud beta page a few days ago. It’s nice; the old design was nice too. But I only ever use iCloud.com to manage my Hide My Email addresses. Like others posted, I think “I would like to use this site” and then “Why would I want to use this site?” I don’t use Office.com much either for that matter.
