I mean, even pdf document that you posted as an example, contains internet links that may or may not be available in the future. By uploading it to Archives you get to access it, and it may even help people in the future that require similar information.

I honestly wasn't aware you could just store your private stuff on archive.org. I assumed some team was "archiving the Internet" - whatever that means.
So who guarantees archive.org will be around ten years from now? Musk and Trump won't nuke it by some means?
I have three ZFS based storage systems in 2 separate locations 15 km apart. All of this happens by the magic of ZFS snapshots and replication without any action on my part.
I do this stuff for a living, managing roughly a hundred hosts with way over a thousand customer containers aka FreeBSD jails in three different data centres.
Technology and the management thereof is not my issue. Management of my personal archive so I can find (read: even know it's there!) stuff is.
Kind regards,
