Bitwarden though actually has an API, and in turn interesting community implementation potential such as the Rust-based Vaultwarden [0]. While I agree seeing them get a huge round does raise some concern in terms of the revenue generation pressure (1Password sticks in my mind as a worse example though with their switch to forced subs-only, no local/non-1P vaults, abandonment of native apps etc), to me the real sign would be if they broke self-hosting. But even so, of course with self-hosting one could simply stop there. Doesn't feel like quite the same situation as 1P or LastPass where one was really in a fully vs partially proprietary system.
I'd be OK with paying for updates to quality clients though so long as it was a regular payment system (not paying means staying on that version vs having it stop working).
