I use Bitwarden and, though all the features are very nice (self hosted Vaultwarden), the clients are really bad. The autofill is super inconsistent on Android. The app takes 20s+ to load on my Pixel 3a. You can't trigger a sync from the quick autofill menu, you have to open the full app. The "desktop app" is just an embedded browser. I really want to like it, but it doesn't make it easy.
The Firefox add-on works great, and I've never really needed more than that and the website. On Android I have a 3a too and not noticed this issue.
Not sure what you mean about no autofill on android, it definitely pops up on login fields for me and quickly lets me login with biometrics and then gives me my account. I only ever need to open up the app when I need to force it to sync if I'd just added a login on a different device and it hasn't synced yet.
I agree with most of your points although the android app is fast for me. The autofill isn't great I must stress.
The windows app and autofill need an overhaul.
