Look I love fully offline concepts just as much as the next person. But what Bitwarden offers me that those other solutions don't, is to offload some of the mental load long-term. I like privacy but something are exhausting. Pick and choose your battles.

Less hands on maintenance and mental overhead to keep things synced and all services / files up to date. We bitwarden users have other stuff to do. Different priorities.

This is one of the things I decided to keep to the people who do this far more and deeper than I ever could. Their job. Their liability.

All my accounts are encrypted, cloud accessible, or offline accessible. Protected by a giant hash of a master password. It allows me to feel safe and provides the convenience of copy and pasting insane credentials needed in today's times. Hassle free. Great features. The end.

*potentially even under free account if you choose.

oh, i was expecting bitwarden to be self hosted too. as long as they are trustworthy, i guess it is convenient to be able to pay to get this stuff done for you.

Here's the beauty. You can self host it. They give you the option to choose your method. You don't have to pay they offer free accounts.
