Hello Dave,
I don't want to get too political now. But governments change. If a government wants to protect your privacy today, things could look very different tomorrow. A government could exert political pressure to gain access to 1password's servers. It could also be that 1password is sold to another company. Maybe even to the Chinese. Even within the company, the company philosophy can change. See the disaster with the interface to the Ledger wallets, where data security concerns were suddenly thrown overboard and a lot of convenience and fancy new features were built in. Unfortunately, I no longer trust anyone when it comes to such important issues as my data security (especially passwords for very sensitive areas). I want only my access to the safe. Only I decrypt the data that is on my stick or my server. No one else. Since that doesn't work with 1password, I have to look for another provider or, as is currently the case, keep my passwords on paper in the safe. Tedious? Sure. But it's a lot safer than shaky IT servers that are located somewhere in the world and whose security decreases year after year in order to save costs. Sorry.
