There is a wide spectrum between password-on-PostIt and cloud-based third-party service.
A password-manager accessing a version-controlled master file on the LAN, for example. Which can not only be firewalled nice and tight but is also resilient to xloud-provider going out of business or changing their ToS.

It's pretty much the old on-prem vs off-prem argument, and for some people & organizations, on-prem is non-negotiable.
I don’t anticipate on-prem being available for individuals; there is simply too much infrastructure required. But for businesses this may be possible in the future. Please reach out to our business team at `[email protected]` if you are interested. - Ben, AgileBits
But for an enterprise team (or just a team), you need to be able to share passwords with various team members.
Without a system, you're left with each of those people having to use their own (often insecure) personal methodology. Without a password manager, people resort to very simple passwords, or reusing passwords across multiple systems, or writing passwords down on PostIt notes next to their monitors.
Without the convenience of a cloud-based system, you don't have an easy way to back up your passwords -- what happens if someone gets hit by a bus? And you can't easily have someone run compliance to verify when the last time was you updated your password, or how complex your passwords are -- at least not without showing them the raw passwords in all systems.
I get paranoia... but any team that runs a password manager service consistently for all users will be much more secure than any team that doesn't.
