Conversely: I have zero interest in managing the storage of my own password vaults. It's a trade-off I'm willing to make for convenience and durability.

By way of example: I recently moved overseas, and in the process I wiped my desktop and moved to a laptop-only setup. Unfortunately, I managed to back up an outdated Adobe Lightroom catalog, not my current catalog, so I lost about two years' worth of catalog data -- including Lightroom edit histories. Yes, this is obviously a mistake on my part, but I recognise that I make these mistakes, and I'm willing to trade some loss of privacy and security for a significant decrease in a different risk profile.

Removing a local option is shitty, but there's nothing wrong with providing cloud-based storage.

Almost everyone who was doing local storage put their vault in dropbox or something similar.

The problem isn't their offering of their custom cloud storage solution, but them forcing it upon people who were happy with the current state.
