Totally agree, and I notice a lot of people just blindly go down the hosting Vaultwarden route. There's a trade-off that everyone needs to consider, and much of it depends entirely on their skill level.
Having said, I'm all for self-hosting and I hope it continues to become prevalent.

I'm also all for self-hosting, but there's a difference between hosting things for your LAN, and hosting things available on the internet.
Most people have no clue about the amount of work required to runs things in a secure, redundant and resilient way. And no, a RaspberryPi in the corner, running on your LAN probably won't cut it. At least not for me.
My biggest complaint about the 1Password8 situation is that i've been "self hosting" version 7 for years using iCloud sync, and it has worked perfectly. I have my 1Password vault on every device for "free". With family sharing in iTunes, i had it for every family member for "free" as well.
With version 8 they're taking that away, and instead trying to push me to a $5/month subscription that essentially does the same thing.
I have faithfully purchased every version up until now, and had they kept local vaults/iCloud sync i would have purchased the next one as well. As it is now, self-hosted or not, i will be looking for something else. Afterall, all i really need is an encrypted file on a cloud share.
Unix Pass would be great if it didn't leak information about which sites you have logins for. "Easily" fixable by using Pass Tomb, but sadly that's not available on iOS.
