Why would anyone want a password manager to have a desktop app at all? I use Bitwarden on the desktop exclusively through the Firefox extension – nearly all the time specifically through the tiny popover window in the corner of the browser. Can't say I ever want it to have more UI.

We store a lot more than just passwords in there. Credit Card Numbers, RSA/ED25519 keys, and it even connects to our Azure Key Vaults. Having a full non-browser UX is advantageous.
I store things like security questions along with the username/password for a specific site.
