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...

You don't understand what I mean with "different". You, on Apple, have 100% of all the tiny features 1Password has to offer. I, on Windows (and on different platforms) have less. I have perhaps 80%. You have more entry sorting criteria, for example. I don't exactly remember what it was, but I think I needed a sort by username - the Apple version supports this as far as I saw this on some screenshot, but the Windows version not. And it's not the same 80% on each platform.
At initial import a few months ago (I'm a new user), I looked for ways to work over all my entries and organize them. I tried to filter duplicates, find and sort by certain criteria. Some demands were better fulfilled by the website, some better by some app. Tags are not supported equally by all platforms. I'm using sub-tags. Some platforms collapse the tags, some not. Collecting items by hierarchical tags is not consistent. I bet on Apple, all the tag handling is perfect. But look at the early access: surprisingly, tags are not collapsible. Hierarchical tags are just indented, but not collapsible.
There are more such surprises in the non-Apple versions of the 1Password apps. This is what I mean with "nuisance" and "different". Since you only use the Apple apps, you never see this, so I understand why you frown upon the early access version. But if 1Password wants to be a universal password manager, it's the right way to go: to unify the feature set, so there are no 1st class (Apple) and 2nd class users (everyone else) users any more. Currently with V7, for me, a Windows user, 1Password has less value than for you, an Apple user. But I'm paying the same subscription, so I'm at a disadvantage.
