This is the kind of thing where more paranoia is better. Their service is a big fat target. I don't understand how you can't be disturbed by that.

Personally, I'm more comfortable with a service that has entire teams whose entire job is finding and fixing holes in the service than I am with something I toss on a server somewhere and forget about for months at a time.
Realistically, which is more likely? 1) That 1Password gets breached and loses their customer information, or 2) that I install Bitwarden on my server, somebody discovers a hole in it, I don't hear about it for a while (or do but don't have time to update), and get all my passwords stolen?
For me, the second seems more likely, so I'm happy to stick with 1Password.

All the encryption happens client-side. For this to be a problem you not only have to gain access to the blobs stored on their service, but you also have to be able to decrypt them.
I expect they probably pay more attention to abnormal access than most self-hosted users would as well, so you'd actually know about a data leak faster so you could rotate your passwords.
