Just an example for those that are not familiar with Apple devices.
You can sync your calendar, reminders and contacts with iCloud.
But you don't have to.
iCloud calendar sync is basically a CalDAV server.
You can setup your own CalDAV and sync with that if you like. On the iDevice
you have to set the parameters for your server which makes it slightly harder to
setup than iCloud, but that's just the way it is and not Apple's fault.
There are no other stumbling blocks to make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Once set up it works like a charm. I can say "Hey Siri, remind me to buy pasta" and a split second later I have a new VTODO on my CalDAV server.
