Sales organizations love to claim "it's what the customer wants", "it's more affordable", among other half-truths - when the reality is it's a much more consistent revenue stream that disconnects customers voting with dollars from continual enhancement of the product such that the customer is incented to upgrade. But in the majority of cases the customer is not always delighted by this move. Maybe it's that they're positioning to sell the company and moving to 100% subscription boosts the bottom line valuation. Clearly 1Password has a subset of customers that don't want what they're forcing on customers. While I understand subscriptions can add value, I don't understand the forced model.

Bitwarden has slowly been adding the features I wanted when I had left Lastpass - and at this point it just works for my workflow. I used the migration as a point in time to clean up my vault and have enjoyed a completely clean password manager ever since. I was moving from Lastpass after they sold out.
