If Apple truly kept files "a little longer" for customer service, you'd expect clear documentation of the retention period and working recovery tools

The 180 days is documented for iCloud device backups, but not documented for iCloud Drive.

I also don’t think you can make that assumption. I’ve worked for many companies where we had recovery tools we didn’t advertise to customers especially since it wasn’t a guarantee that they would work, and they involved manual recovery effort. We didn’t want to just give customers the idea that they could be sloppy and delete their data and depend on us to do a low level database restore.
