That's somewhat fair, although the 1Password X page (which is what AgileBits calls their in-browser version) describes it as being comparable to the native versions, which to me goes against OP's statement that

The existence of 1Password X means that full functionality is not _dependent_ on a MacOS/Windows app. The argument that there should be a graphical (because there _is_ a multi-platform CLI), native app for Linux, which does not depend on any browser, is a perfectly valid one -- but it is also an argument that I don't believe they've made.

1Password X is definitely not comparable to the native versions, and the statement was "full functionality can’t be dependent on an app which is only available on Mac OS and/or Windows."

I think they're making that argument.

I have no experience with the mac app but 1Password X is certainly better than the native windows app.
There is substantial functionality which is only available in the native app, not in 1Password X, and therefore completely unavailable on Linux.

If the 1Password X claims that its functionality is comparable to the native version, then it is lying.
