You don’t want anything that advertises next generation encryption. You want tried and true encryption. You want boring encryption.

Then you want them to advertise NIST PQ standards

... Which is also not necessary for single user password databases anyway

Yes it is necessary just as my homelab needs to have enterprise hardware and be georedundant. Statements like yours make my very reasonable self hosting purchases hard to financially justify.

The standards are royalty free, so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything

For a personal database that's unlikely to leave your hardware, sure. For SSH keys or something else that needs to be accessible publicly, post quantum or other "next generation" encryption may be reasonable.

If you're sharing KeePass with others, maybe post quantum encryption is something to look for to get a bit of protection going forward.
