Why was 1P8 released in a seemingly unfinished state?
This is a rant, and I don't truly expect a reply from support as I know they can't really give any kind of satisfying answers to these questions/issue - but I felt compelled to express my frustration...
Um . . . no - sane organizations (of which AgileBits (1Password?) is one) don't rewrite apps to suit their project management methodology. If you want to know the driving force behind the changes, you can read about it here. https://blog.1password.com/1password-8-the-story-so-far/
Summary: They had several different codebases, which caused siloed development efforts and wildly different timelines for implementing services across all of them. By rewriting as much code as possible in reusable, cross platform friendly languages (like Rust and Electron . . . barf) they limit the amount of rework required and make it much easier to implement cross platform strategies. They're also clearly going hard after enterprise business.
From an IT / Business management standpoint it makes all the sense in the world. Unfortunately they broke and regressed a lot of things their user base loves in the process.
