You’re absolutely right! If Fastmail or 1password charged more for their services, the bar for what I consider good value would be different. Those two services are _absolutely_ worth more to me than they currently charge and I’d be happy to pay.
But they don’t, which is why I use them as my baseline. If my email provider and password manager - two services with damn near infinite vendor lockin - can do it, no one has any excuse.
What do you mean infinite vendor lock in? Just export your vault and import it in another password manager and switching email provider is not that hard either (assuming you use your own domain).
Which is your choice, obviously, but you can see why people would find it strange -- it seems like you're potentially just leaving value on the table for an arbitrary reason. The price of Fastmail doesn't affect the value you would get from some unrelated product, so surely that other product is either worth the asking price or not worth it regardless of how much Fastmail is charging.
