Mainly cuz it doesn't store your passwords on someone else's computer.
You can selfhost bitwarden, there's also vaultwarden, an open bitearden api implementation. You could host this on an internal-only server. But you also can sync your single password file with a lot devices and use keepass, I just find that a bit annoying. You also cannot share some passwords with your relatives easily that way.
Hey it's fine if you trust them, it's a very convenient service and from what I found it's pretty secure, since there's no way to recover logins if you forget your master pass. But i personally don't like the idea of having passwords on someone else's server and I'm too stoopid to set-up my own instance on a docker container server thingy. Syncthing just works for me, got GUI and everything.
Totaly valid choice!
