Seems to be an option

we won’t collect any usage data without your awareness and consent first. Participation will be optional for Individual and Family plan customers. And at this time, our telemetry system won’t be rolled out to any team or business using 1Password.

Step 1 of enshittification is to make something like this opt-in. Then later when everyone's used to it, turn it on by default (but only for new accounts). Then make it so new accounts can't opt-out anymore. Then default it to on for legacy accounts, before finally removing the ability to turn it off altogether.

Well it might and likely will turn bad, still right now it's not. Better use Bitwarden either way.
