Google Drive/iCloud/OneDrive/Dropbox are already used by non-technical users - moreso than SaaS password managers.

What do you do for when you want to access some other type of file across devices, like notes or photos? If you have notes.txt on an FTP server, just put passwords.kdbx alongside it. If you're subscribing to some new service for each individual filetype you want to sync, with nothing for arbitrary files, that seems like considerably more hassle overall to me.
For other types of files, I have different apps: Obsidian Vaults with Syncthing, but that’s not accessible from the internet. And I like having my passwords across all my devices, updating anywhere I am.
And for me, it’s just not worth the headache (and security risk) of hosting my own password manager.
