As sberman explains, this was a gift from Apple. It was also a great example of the maxim that no good deed goes unpunished. Not everyone was as pleased as Apple perhaps thought they might be. For a while, there was a way to remove it. I don't remember what it was and I seem to recall people saying that it no longer worked. You can try contacting Apple Support to find out if they can delete it for you. I have no idea if they can.
There is a link to Support at the bottom left of every page of the forums.

Music can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to Apple Music or if you subscribe to iTunes Match.
The type of subscription involved will dictate the appropriate method.
