Wow. This is insanely shitty if you ask me. I can't think of any non-malicious reason why it's done this way.

I recommend using vaultwarden instead to self-host bitwarden: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

Vaultwarden is the way. API parity at a fraction of the footprint

And doesn’t require calling home to bitwarden (you need to register your instance with them even if self hosted)

Yeah, same here. I recently setup a localized Vaultwarden instance and it barely uses any resources. MySQL or PostgreSQL is a bit overkill as well for just a single instance, unless you plan on scaling it later on.
