No, but hardware keylogger require physical access.

Actually it is not just an issue with AD design, but the AD design only makes it slightly worse. The underlying issue is that biometrics are not required to retrieve the biometric key from DPAPI and instead of authenticating with Windows Hello, any program could just simply ask DPAPI for the key.

Yes, it requires an attacker in a powerful position with local access. However, it does not require special privileges or techniques that may trigger endpoint security (such as keyloggers or memory dumping). The only requirements are reading a JSON file and making a single Windows API call to retrieve the key.

Yes, it requires an attacker in a powerful position but it does not require physical access. Any program that runs in the user's session (without any special privileges) could have autonomously retrieved the biometric key and decrypted the vault without user interaction and without Bitwarden running.

Not that we are aware of. The security model of Android and iOS also makes it much easier to implement biometric unlock correctly.
