Makes me think if survivorship bias (or similar) applies here. While it's not fun to see LP having a lot of incidents in its history, maybe those could be viewed as something that has made LP stronger over the years?

I'd be more worried about a password manager that has never seen any security incidents - is it because there really aren't any, or that they haven't been caugh? Surely a security incident on a password manager serves as a major motivation to harden shit up?

They didn't fix known weaknesses (unencrypted urls, no auto upgrade of the key cipher) after those previous incidents. At some point one has to come to the opposite conclusion...

No, it always had worse track record than all competitors.

It's owned by a Private Equity firm, which means cutting all costs and selling hard until there's no money left to squeeze out of the corpse.
