So it backs up system settings, app data and stuff as well, right? But do you just need a PC for that or does it have to be a Mac?
Yes, it backs up pretty much everything, including app data. Apps themselves will need to redownload from the App Store though, just like with iCloud backups.
Apple officially supports device backups on Macs (integrated into Finder) or Windows via this app: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9np83lwlpz9k
Interesting. Still sucks that they don't give you the option to choose a cloud provider for this but I didn't expect them to just let you use your PC.
