My biggest complaint is that password managers treat passwords as something precious. They're the opposite of that, in most cases they don't even have to be remembered at all, because there are easy password reset flows and long session times. Just get a new password if you need to log in from a new device or the session ended.
Sure, you need to know how to log into your email, but that isn't any more passwords to remember than the password manager master password.
I don't rely on just that, but between the reset flows and the browsers built-in password store, I don't really see what I gain by adding an external point of failure.

I mean, a browser "password store" _is_ a password manager. It's just usually not a very featureful one.
