I think what needs to be appreciated is that the vast majority of people don't use any password manager. LastPass inspite of its many red-flags is still better than nothing, and is usually a good starting point for a less tech-savy person. Within the context of this site what needs to be accounted for is their target audience. If it's aimed at people new to the whole idea of cyber security then it makes sense, but if it's aimed at more experienced users then yes 100% LastPass is a terrible suggestion.

Sorry but this is terrible advice. LastPass had a huge breach with website data included along with many breaches over the past years. Please look into them further.
It's not better than nothing if it leaks all your passwords.
People are literally better off with dice and some paper than using LastPass
Is LastPass simpler to use than BitWarden ?
Not in my experience.
Why do you bother to write such a long, meaningless comment when other free/paid password managers are easily available? What's the point and what are you advocating for?
