My comment was only targeted against the claim that prefering easier onboarding (made by the parent comment) only means increasing profits (which probably is also true). Don't get me wrong, I am not making any "lastpass is better" point or anything, I currently think of switching to 1password, because it seems like the better solution overall.

I read it a few times in this thread already, but with the general lack of printers for most people, I find it kind of funny. I personally guess that more people put it unsecured in their dropbox than people actually printing it.

I think this breach shows that operational security for lastpass is lacking, something distinctly different from the password storage system security. Although it might be linked as in teams building less secure systems might have worse security themselves.
