For now, this feature isn’t planned, because it goes against the core idea of the product that all data stays local on users’ devices. Implementing data sharing would require registration and authentication, as well as storing data on third party servers.

Thanks for the quick response! I believe there are ways for native applications to share data to other iCloud users without storing to third party servers.
However, I do understand that this may be technically challenging. It’s good to know that if this isn’t on the roadmap, I can figure out another workaround in the meantime.
