I disagree with the password manager as an example. If you don't like the SaaS products offered by some password manufacturers, then don't use them? There are many other non SaaS options. A large chunk of the world lives in the cloud, whether its Azure or AWS, there is an enormous amount of infrastructure that is sitting in the cloud as a service. For many a SaaS password manager is better security for them than what they're doing now by remembering all of their simple passwords. Many people don't know how to use Yubikey's and the sort.

"Cloud" isn't a reason for password managers IMO. Password managers don't need to sell you cloud subscriptions for you to use cloud in the same way desktop apps don't need to sell you OS licenses for you to use a desktop app. And yes personally I avoid purchasing them (see post title) but it's just another thing to filter out. Especially since sometimes apps actually have useful/novel cloud integrations and other times they just want the subscription money from making you put it in their choice of cloud.
