Nothing. Adding 2FA codes to logins costs money, and self-hosting is deliberately difficult so you’ll be using the cloud.

Also you can’t edit while offline.

Self hosting is incredibly easy with vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)

That's a different implementation though

A different implementation for the server though, not the clients. So, as a user you wouldn't see the difference.

And as an admin it's much easier to maintain.

Theoretically yes but its comptible with the official cliente like the iOS app so it practically works the same.

If you don't want to pay $10/year for Premium, you can still host Vaultwarden instead and get the features for free.

[citation needed] in my opinion. Yes, the current self-hosting method is rather complex, but still not that difficult to set up. Just follow their guide.

They are even working on a new "unified" deployment method [1] where you can choose your own DB and all the Bitwarden containers are merged into one. The resulting docker-compose.yml looks as simple as any other service I self-host. Why would they do this if what you said were true?
