They are a real treasure trove though. Those crypto token thefts show there's much money in that. I wouldn't bet my most sensitive data they covered every single attack vector - external or internal. You managing your password locally may be much less secure but it's also much less likely you're directly targeted.
The accounts they're breaking the encryption on were never configured properly. These are old accounts from when LastPass had weak defaults and neither the user or LastPass updated those settings on old accounts. Those settings have always existed though and could have been improved by the user.
