And I see no reason to switch from 1Password AND Bitwarden.

 And I see not need to use another pw-manager than the current in iOS or macOS at all. Third party apps are always a potential security risk. The last severe incident is rather recent.

The PW manager in iOS/MacOS doesn't do 10% of what 1Password does - and the announced app will likely only bring its light capabilities closer to the surface.
1Password has proven safe and secure.
Unfortunately it has gone to the milk-the-feeble-minded mode of renting out their service rather than selling the s/w standalone and letting the user store the encrypted file wherever he pleases.
