Bitwarden lite self-host deployment, formerly unified, is now generally available! This self-host option is a more lightweight and flexible deployment alternative, ideal for homelab enthusiasts and community members who want to get started quickly with self-hosting Bitwarden. With the release of general availability, Bitwarden lite users can benefit from enhanced performance and reliability.

Seems to be an official alternative to Vaultwarden

I think it's nice they offer their own lite version.

Just because there is a more popular OSS solution doesn't mean they should be complacent and accept people will use Vaultwarden.

This shows they support their users directly instead of just letting their users fend for themselves.

They also could indirectly be blamed by some people using vaultwarden should an issue arise with it.

By publishing the first party lite version they can say "well you're not using our supported version". While still being friendly to self-hosters.
