Hi, It kind of depends on the file how easy it is to share in iCloud. Specifically, you are correct in that right-clicking to share any file is not supported in iCloud Drive, but if you're using Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Notes or a number of other Apple and third party services, these can be shared from within the documents themselves. No, not as slick as Google Drive or DropBox, but doable. For Google Drive, it's best to use something like their Backup & Sync app so that it creates a Finder item that you can use just like the Finder version of DropBox.

I just like it b/c it's super easy. You store a file there, and you can access it on your Mac, your phone--using Files, and for me, my PC. I guess I just like the interface better than either google or Dropbox. But Ryan is right, if you need to share the file link with others, it isn't a good option.
