Bitwarden is open-source though? This is about the hosted version of it, which has a free tier. But you can run the same software on your server at home if you want, for free.

(That said, I am also concerned about the direction Bitwarden is taking. I just think this shows that even OSS projects can have direction/rugpull issues.)

You're right, though the friends and family that I would feel the need to recommend a password manager to aren't the type that would self-host their own servers.

Whats to say this will still be true if the company gets sold?

The server is only recently free, if indeed it is at all. I don't remember when or if that changed, because for most of its life it was definitely not free (open source).
