I’m actually on the same boat, and I haven’t been able to upgrade to any of the newer releases of 1Password due to this. I feel exactly the same way. I refuse to cave though!
The only feature I’m missing with my old old 1Password is Have I Been Pwned integration, and that seems iffy now that it’s shutting down.
Software has switched to a subscriptions, but They don’t offer any benefit over the original purchase price structure to users. It feels like the ultimate admission that the product has reached maturity, and so it’s time to rent seek.
I’ve considered switching to Bitwarden or Firefox Lockwise, but honestly, 1Password still works, and so there isn’t much impetus to migrate.
I upgraded to 7 with the license payment ($49 seemed fair to me). Biggest value add with the upgrade is the google authenticator integration which is useful for sites that support it.
I would stop upgrading if agilebits ever drop local vault support though.

Why not, i use iCloud to store my 1Password data, and i still use the latest macOS 1Password version (7 i believe).
It's a standalone app without a subscription (i would never pay for a subscription just because they tacked on a cloud service I don't need, to justify the subscription model...)
Maybe it’s different for iCloud users, because 1Password doesn’t let me upgrade to version 7 without paying for a cloud subscription (by the way, I use Dropbox for my data).
