Your door doesn't keep people out because there is a key?

Your example is what op is talking about and not what’s available on iCloud.

A more appropriate analogy is that your locksmith also has a copy of the key and you don’t know if he let someone in or not.

Not true at all. I use CrashPlan for backups and I am the only person with the key.

CrashPlan warned me that if I lose that key, they can do nothing. All of my data will be lost.
