Can't consider it 'free' as it is a part of subscription. Have not yet set up the Invites app. Have been planning on doing so for a long time now.

Not free as others have said when you need to pay to have them, that said, I use it to get email for my domains, that alone is worth it vs what others charge for the same service.
 
I'd give up (okay, I've never used) these 'free' features for more storage at the same price. And yes, let's have some more storage levels.
As the devices' OSs (and demands of 3rd Party apps) seeks to use up more of iCloud, the requirement of having to pay just to cover that is almost a given.
Perhaps the basic iCloud account should come with the same amount of storage as the device you buy? If multiple devices, whichever device you set up your account with sets the limit all must share. Still have payment levels for above that basic floor.
 
I have no interest in any of those "free features".

What I do have an interest in is some storage choices between 200GB & 2TB
In India, the 200 GB iCloud+ plan is priced at ₹219 ($2.53), while the Apple One Family plan costs ₹365 ($4.22) and includes an additional 200 GB of iCloud storage. By subscribing to both, users effectively get 400 GB of total storage for a combined monthly cost of ₹584 ($6.75). This has become a popular strategy among users to avoid upgrading to the more expensive 2 TB plan—at least until their storage needs exceed the 400 GB threshold.
