How can anyone switch to bitwarden given how complex it is to switch back in the future? I love keepass because I am allowed to export my DBS to any other provider with ease. For bitwarden, there is not a good export system (that includes attachments,images...),meaning that I would be vendor locked.

What vendor lock-in? They make it plainly clear how to export your data from BitWarden: https://bitwarden.com/help/article/export-your-data/

Personally I think it would be awesome if Bitwarden gave you the option to export your password vault as a KDBX4 file. What's the best way to fund a bounty program for adding this feature to Bitwarden?

KeePass has the ability to import Bitwarden JSON file so there's little need for the feature.
There might not be a need but I like the idea of being able to use the Bitwarden client on iOS/Android with a KDBX4 database file from KeePass(XC).
Bitwarden is 100% open source. You can run your own server. There is no vendor lock in.
Not an excuse for poor export capabilities but you can absolutely DIY with bitwarden-cli.
