Cross platform design philosophy

I understand a part for you deciding to go for Electron on the front end was so that the Apps could all look and feel as close as possible to each other across the various...
It is a cross platform application. It wasn't when I started using it in 2007. The reason I have been using it since is the Mac native experience. I don't want a cross platform experience that degrades the Mac user experience in favor of the other platforms. You as a company one took great pride in the quality of your Mac application. Those days seem to be gone.
In what way are those apps excellent? I have tried them all. None of them are excellent and none of them feel at home on macOS. In fact, I hate using every single Electron app I have ever tried because they all feel like web apps. Probably because they are. I have in many cases moved to other solutions just so I don't have to use the awful web based apps.
So you're basically throwing away your position as the best password manager for Mac users because it's too expensive? What about the users that may move to other solutions now that you don't have an edge over the competition anymore? Many of us use 1Password just because of the great Mac experience. When that's gone features and pricing together with security will be all that's left to compare.
In fact, I liked it much better when you didn't offer apps for other platforms and had all focus on the Mac and iOS side of things. That's when 1Password was at its best.
I hope you will reverse this decision because it's not the right move if you want to stay true to your roots as being the one and only top choice for Mac users.
