IMO, 1Password has much much better UX than Vaultwarden has. So you definitely get something for the money.

That's the other part that breaks my lizard brain.

We are talking about $5k/month vs $500. If the UX of the FOSS version is lacking, pay for the closed version BUT throw $1000/month on the direction of the FOSS developers until the issues are mitigated and they satisfy your requirements. I can bet that in less than a year you'd be able to make a switch and the investment would pay itself.

This is not at all an easy thing to guarantee even if you’re willing to spend the money. The FOSS developers might not be interested in doing this work (even for pay) nor have UX staff.

Do you have any idea how much "developer power" you can buy with $1000/month, if you just look in the right places?

So many talented people working for that money or less in São Paulo, Buenos Aires or Hanoi, it would be worth it to give it a shot even if they just worked part-time.
