I can understand your position, but there's more than a few of us that have watched some of our favorite products pursue new verticals for the sake of making more money, losing focus on what made them great in the first place, and ultimately dying, forcing us to pivot to some replacement that is better not because its made some revolutionary improvement to the problem space, but because it's less distracted.

All that to say, every time you hear someone talking about this, it's not because they want to talk crap about Bitwarden, it's because they are afraid of getting too sucked into yet another product that works well, only to have to leave when the company's leadership loses focus. Largely because they received pressure from investors trying to 10x their investment in the short term when they could have received sustainable dividends over time.

That's a slippery slope argument though. I am happy for the people you describe that they found a support group in HN comments for the impending demise of bitwarden but it's still just noise and doesn't nurture interesting conversations. Like the recurring "this webapp requires javascript", "signal is centralized", etc. It's becoming memes.
