Proton Pass could be replaced by a synchronised KeePassXC/DX database.
I understand your point for Independent Password Managers. For some people this is not a solution. I would always recommend a password managers that fits your needs and know-how. My parents could not use keepass with sync without breaking or loosing shit. But protonpass, or Bitwarden or strongbox could be a viable option. In some rare cases I would even recommend Apple Passwort App. Better than nothing.
If you can figure out Linux, you can definitely use KeepassXC...
I use KeepassXC and it's database syncs great with Syncthing.
What I don't like about KP is it's ui. Too many pages. Everything should be one one page like KeepassDX. I wouldn't recommend for noobs.
Or Bitwarden (can selfhost too)
Thats a good idea, I only use is for accounts that I must have access to, other than that I write them on an encrypted SD card.
