I think it is likely that they want to hide this option, as they have hidden the standalone version. I think their long-term plan is to have everyone on their subscription with data stored in the 1Password cloud. This reduces support and development load (no need to support local/Dropbox/Wifi sync with all its edge cases) and guarantees montly/yearly payments.

I think they’ve actually been quite upfront about the option, even if it’s not front and center on the website right now. Both the standalone subscription and the local vault support have regularly been mentioned in announcements and updates for 1Password 7 from the start. My impression is that agilebits understands how important these options are to their users and have invested in keeping them around for the long-term.

The support and development load is indeed much higher when it comes to standalone vaults. There is an infinite number of scenarios out of our control when it comes to Dropbox and WLAN sync. Several times in the past we had support inbox at over 10,000 emails waiting for response. If AgileBits was VC-funded then we would have to drop standalone vaults, no doubt. It is a good thing that we are not. We do care about our long-time customers and will provide standalone vaults for as long as there is demand for them. Just please do not ask us to make it a default option.
