WiFi credentials maybe but I can't imagine the devices hold Netflix user passwords, I've never encountered it but surely the Netflix API just negotiates an API key tied to the user?

I manage a password manager for an MSP that supports hundreds of Azure tenancies with dozens of engineers. 2FA codes in the password manager in a shared space is far safer than a non synchronised account with no 2FA. Since the TOTP code is not accessible too, it also means that password manager breaches are time limited.

Just depends on your use case.

For home office/SMBs routers you can't really beat Draytek boxes. I've had ones last 9+ years and they receive regular updates for 5+ years and are extremely solid. They have devices that have wireless radios in too but I tend to buy a used Ruckus WAP and set that up in addition because the coverage on those beats most things out there.

Folders in Windows can be network locations or internet locations without any guarantees on their access speed, makes sense to show to the user that it's still doing something.

No they don't, they usually just use common encryption library and encrypt files directly.
