This is one of those very rare cases with potentially huge negative effect to make it into a mandatory feature.

Which still suffers from inefficient incremental updates. Curious whether those other managers deal with that (do they split your vault into parts)?

Whatever documents you want to securely share with others, various scanned docs, so it's not just a few megs, (e.g., Bitwarden offers up to 1G encrypted file attachments) (though don't use this either, mine is just a few megs)

The only thing you would need to make mandatory is a direct login to any storage service.

If it's a megabyte, who cares? You could have a way to split things or upload an update log, but it's not worth it.

If you need big attachments, then keep them outside the core vault file.

Sharing is where a dedicated service is useful.

But if a feature like that needs a paid service, it should be an optional upgrade.
