When Crashplan did this, they removed their home offering and completely dropped a large portion of their user base.



Sure, but I'd be surprised if Crashplan was operating their home offering at a profit beforehand and just went "eh, we don't need money". 1Password seems to have a totally viable consumer market that's making them money without all that much work on it. It would seem weird for them to kill a golden goose.


Also, it is good for companies when their employees use good password management everywhere, including in their personal life. The 1Password for Teams Business plan includes a free family plan for every user, so there's mutual reinforcement there.
