Also, local software and database is always superior to cloud.
Now there’s an unfounded blanket statement if I ever saw one.

But, I would say you can use any online password manager as long as it’s end to end encrypted, so Bitwarden is a good choice.

Statement related to previous cloud hacks i assume.
Should have say: self-hosting is always superior to cloud hosting.
Bitwarden (the client) + Vaultwarden (the self-hosted server) is a good combo if you have some knowledge on how to setup it.

Should have say: self-hosting is always superior to cloud hosting.
That statement still comes with a pretty damn big caveat though - you need to have the know-how, the time to invest and the hardware (i.e money) to actually set something like this up.
If all of those are true, then self-hosting can definitely be an attractive option for you.
It’s only true for a vanishingly small fraction of the population, though.
Hence, Bitwarden is a pragmatic solution that will be superior for the vast majority of the population.

No dislike for Keepass here, but I prefer Bitwarden. It’s also super easy to self host with Vaultwarden.

I think your bias may be showing. The average computer user doesn’t even think about using a password manager. It just exists and works in their browser.
