Very similar experience to my own. Was a 1P customer for years, but the product declined after the VC purchase and I trust Apple more to get privacy & security right. Apple Passwords accomplishes the minimum of what I want a Password system to do. Yes, 1Password has some nice add-ons like SSH agent integration, secure notes, etc., but some of these aren't necessary or have workarounds as outlined in this post.
I really do wish there was some way to integrate Apple Passwords with Linux, but I don't see that happening. FWIW, iCloud on Windows isn't horrible and has decent Apple Password support as it even works with iCloud Advanced Data Protection now.
I've asked multiple OpenAI employees on X that have been posting about the issue whether or not they will be processing bulk unclassified Americans' data or what will they do when asked since I think it is fair to assume that they have or will receive the same ask that was made of Anthropic. No response, yet. The Head of National Security Partnerships at OpenAI seems to be focused on stating that that the NSA is not able to use the contract. Whether or not that is true, it doesn't address the unclassified bulk data processing concern, which is a form mass surveillance of Americans. Also, not great when at least one OpenAI employee has posted that the DoD "does not conduct domestic surveillance" and only issued a correction after quite a backlash by stating that he was only quoting the Under Secretary of Defense.
"Even as Mr. Trump published the post at 3:47 p.m., the two sides kept talking. Mr. Michael, who was on a call with Anthropic executives at the time, said the Pentagon wanted the company to allow for the collection and analysis of unclassified, commercial bulk data on Americans, such as geolocation and web browsing data, people briefed on the negotiations said.
Anthropic told the Pentagon that it was willing to let its technology be used by the National Security Agency for classified material collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. But the company wanted a legally binding promise from the Pentagon not to use its technology on unclassified commercial data."
"Anthropic’s team was relieved to hear that the government would be willing to remove those words, but one big problem remained: On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life. Anthropic’s leadership told Hegseth’s team that was a bridge too far, and the deal fell apart. Soon after, Hegseth directed the U.S. military’s contractors, suppliers, and partners to stop doing business with Anthropic. The list of companies that contract with the military is extensive, and includes Amazon, the company that supplies much of Anthropic’s computing infrastructure. The Department of Defense did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Anthropic referred me to the company’s statement addressing Hegseth’s remarks."
Considering they asked Anthropic to participate in the following, I would say this is by design in the OpenAI arrangement:

Tried Ghostty several times and I really appreciate the font rendering, but I keep going back to iTerm2 and Terminal.app mostly because of lack of scroll back & CMD-F, etc. Looking forward to what is coming in the next release.
thanks for speaking out, and yes, that was my interpretation, as well, which I outlined below. This is nothing more than some sugar coating on "lawful use" despite what OpenAI says and the contractual "safeguards" they tout like the FDEs.
