I've used Google's password services in the past and I think that they're decent from a user experience.
I started using 1Password a couple years ago and I much prefer 1Password to Google because it is available on multiple platforms, more functionality and based on what I've observed with using 1Password, better security surrounding protection of my information and data.
1Password user experience features that I've liked (It is possible that Google is able to do some or all of these things, but I did not use them when I was using Google's password service):
-Password sharing
-Shared vaults
-Multiple vaults
-Ability to save more than just passwords
-Works across platforms: This was one of the major points that drove my decision. I needed a solution that was relatively brainless and secure across platforms for the people in my family. 1Password offered this with ease while other password managers could possibly meet this but with maintenance.
Security features that I like:
-Watchtower
-In order to access your vault on a new device, you must use a device that is already logged in or you must log in with your account, including your password and your secret key
I a lot of people have issues with password managers because they want the most secure password manager that is free and convenient. Unfortunately, I think that is an impossible request because I think that most features that increase convenience results in increasing vulnerability.
If I only had to manage passwords for myself, something like Google, Bitwarden or Keepass would most likely be sufficient, but with more people and multiple platforms to consider, a paid service like 1Password meets my needs.
The issue with Google is that it is tied to your Google account. Having 2FA/MFA turned on for your Google account is a must.
The other problem I have (this is more of a gut feeling with nothing to substantiate it other than a feeling of unease) is that, I use Google services for a lot of things. This isn't so much an issue with Google's password manager, but an issue with Google and where my Google account stands with my information.
I don't know if I want to put all or the majority of my information into Google. I know it's really convenient to do so by using so many of Google's services (password manager, log-ins, etc) but I wonder if I'm setting myself up for a catastrophe down the line at some point? Keeping some things separate will help to mitigate that.

I have had Last Pass and a few other password services, yet they all got hacked.
Even Norton recently got hacked.
Google has yet to be hacked. So I am sticking with them and it is free and always on whether it be my computer or phone.

That said, I use a combination of Google Passwords & Bitwarden now. Used to use Lastpass but we all know how that turned out. Not to say the same couldn't happen for Bitwarden and/or Google but at least they don't make a habit out of it!
Not crapping on 1Password either, they come highly recommended by many, just turns out Bitwarden has been good enough for my purposes.
