To throw in a second viewpoint: 99% of the time I open the extension, it is to trigger auto-fill. I don't like having my credentials auto-fill on page load, I like to be the one to trigger it.

That being said, I also hated the change that hid the copy buttons, but they have a setting that brings them back.

You may know this, but they introduced a feautre that lets you use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L in order to trigger auto-fill. I have disabled autofill on pageload but LOVE this shortcut key.

I'm the same as you in how I use Bitwarden.

I'd also like to add that if you keep repeating that shortcut it will cycle through the different logins you have for the current site.

Nice trick. TIL.

I'd put the success rate for this feature at about 80% for passwords, 30% for address information, and 0% for payment info (maybe intentional?)

I'm with you about not wanting the autofill, but I use the key combo mentioned below in nearly 100% of cases.

The vast majority of the time I'm opening the extension popover it's because the key combo failed to autofill (site doesn't support it) and I need to manually copy/paste.

For extra fun - the Key combo is customizable if you don't like ctrl-shift-L

Just hit up chrome://extensions/shortcuts and change the combo to something you'd like.
