Why self host a password manager? (programming.dev)

I'm going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden's paid tier is only $10 a year which I'm happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn't need any additional hardware.

True but also free service and fun to play with.

The learning aspect is the big one for me. If you need a reliable service with no time spent learning or troubleshooting, you're probably better using a paid service.

But also, there are significant potential savings and advantages for data storage at home.

And at 10€ per year I'll gladly pay that. Now if it was 10€ per month and almost bi-yearly increasing, because why not, I'd quickly reconsider taking the risk and responsibility of self-hosting the door to my internet- and reallife existence.
I store everything in there. Banking, health, shopping, etc etc. Not worth it exposing it without knowing how much I expose.
The things I currently expose are relatively low-risk.
