Exactly, secrets management is a really critical need that 1Password meets for me, and I'd much rather they charge me an honest price than sell out to advertisers. These things require upkeep (not just defending against everyone trying to break in, but also keeping current on the latest technologies like passkeys), so I find the yearly price of admission is totally reasonable for 1Password's quality and importance.
