Why would anybody use 1Password if you can get Bruce Schneier's PasswordSafe for free (https://pwsafe.org/)?

Do you know who Bruce Schneier is?

Also, pass is a Linux application and Bitwarden cloud-based. So, no, those aren't relevant alternatives.

You are mistaken about both pass and Bitwarden. pass is cross-platform (I personally have it running on Windows 10, macOS and Linux) and Bitwarden can be self-hosted on Windows, macOS and Linux.

And yes, I know who Bruce Schneier is. Not sure what your point is though.

Okay, you have a point. Bitwarden though is at the end of the day a commercial product. I don't know about the user-friendliness of pass but it certainly has a good reputation.
