People have been dunking on LastPass for a very long time. I haven't seen the same infosec people do the same with 1Password and Bitwarden. The constant criticism was a bit push to finally get me to move to 1P.
The one good thing about LastPass was basically how easy it was to set up. Everything else was a bit of a mess. 1Password was tricky to set up, and they took a bit longer to launch a cloud service.
One thing that bothers me about 1Password is that they only let you set up one security key, which is very impractical for people like me. OTOH, this is not unusual, and I assume part of it is to keep bad actors from adding more security keys to your account or something like that. Still not great when you can lose access to everything if you lose your key.

This is my impression as well. What I wonder is whether this is because they haven't tried to find these issues with the other products, or they just failed to find them so nothing ever got published, or if it did no one noticed it. I find the latter hard to believe as I suspect marketing departments would have been all over it.
That said, to me LastPass was always terrible. Back in the day I moved from KeePass to LP for the browser integration but everything was so buggy and unreliable that eventually I moved away.
1Password was better but the cloud service brings some of the same worries as LastPass.
