There's an inherent tradeoff for sure. In my opinion, I wouldn't say that any added functionality a secrets management service can offer is worth trusting all that service's servers, all its backend dependencies, all its employees and contractors, all its third party sub-processors, etc. with plaintext secrets.
I'd also note that we are able to offer all the features you list without requiring users to opt-out of end-to-end encryption.

"Curious how you are able to create a native integration with, let's say, Vercel without requiring users to opt-out of end-to-end encryption?" We don't have a native integration with Vercel (you didn't list that in your comment, which is what I was referring to). We don't really have a need for one since all that's required to integrate EnvKey with Vercel is setting a single environment variable. That said, if we did decide to build an official Vercel integration, we wouldn't require removing end-to-end encryption to use it.
