I respectfully disagree that apps are the same as webpages. The big difference is that apps are signed, so if things are done properly, you only have to trust the devs of the app and whoever operate their CI.
Web pages on the other hand have no such security (yet), which means you also need to trust the cloud provider, the CDN, the fact that the website was not hacked, the ops team of the password manager, and probably anyone who is able to make a valid SSL certificate and might do MITM...
Disclosure: I work for a company that makes a cloud-based password manager.
