With such a huge investment comes the obligation to eventually pay it back. Is this another one of my favourite tools going the way of Dropbox, 1Password and all other companies that were formed around what should be a platform feature, which took on way too large investment sums and were eventually forced to become the everything, losing sight of their core values?

I sincerely hope not, but there's so much bad precedent.

How has 1Password lost sight of its core values?

Perhaps you refer to loss of local vaults? If so, they were never really a viable option for me - I needed the app syncing across multiple devices, including mobile, and doing so with a third party sync solution wasn't suitable.

why not?

More importantly why was it necessary to remove the local vaults feature (I don't need it to integrate with any particular 3rd party syncing solution, I can handle that myself without any features from them) entirely?
