I don't think cloud storage is all that uncommon. Even before 1Password introduced subscriptions, they had sync options for things like Dropbox, and those were pretty popular in my experience. I imagine most users would want some sort of offsite storage either way, and cloud storage is the obvious solution. That said, there are definitely environments where any kind of third-party storage is unacceptable, so they should keep that option around. Still: Most users are probably better served with cloud storage. Usable security beats perfect security. What I'm more concerned about is that, IIRC, there's no way to go through the on-boarding process for their subscription service without using their website, which relies on WebCrypto. I'd rather have that (and other management features) be part of the native applications, which can use proper code signing. From what I gather from Twitter, their security lead isn't happy with that either, so hopefully this will change.
