1Password actually stores its local data into %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password. A %USERPROFILE%.1Password is created but always empty, at least for me.
I bet it's not in the roaming directory, because if you do have roaming profiles, roaming profiles are copied to every machine you log in and are stored on a remote file server, which puts this sensitive data completely out of your personal control and into the hands of whoever is admin of all the machine(s) you login.

The local 1Password database might also be specific to the machine for sync purposes, so it might not be shareable between multiple machines.
