some choices mentioned are questionable (e.g. Brave and PIA), some good solutions are omitted (Organic Maps), but otherwise it's... surpringly not horrible.

What's the issue with PIA? I've used it for quite a while and am quite happy with it.

The choice that surprised me was them recommending 1Password ($40/year) over Bitwarden ($10/year, solid free plan).

here's a nice article about Kape Technologies, the owner of PIA and two other VPN services: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/what-is-kape-technologies-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-parent-company-of-cyberghost-vpn/
