Out of top of my mind - Evernote, Lightroom on Desktop. A PDF reader on my Android phone (still doesn't support dark mode, years after introduction). Boostnote, another note-taking app. LastPass also doesn't really justify their costs considering their poor engineering.

Sincerely, what do you mean by including Evernote? You can see here they’re pretty busy. Aren’t they also doing a bunch of behind-the-scenes re-architecture? https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500001700002

I haven’t been a user for years; I’m just a perplexed bystander.

Lightroom has some updates but I’ll agree the pace is slower. They are a market leader for certain kinds of commercial photographers that will happily pay a couple hundred a year for a critical business expense. I wish they’d see more competition.

Evernote is one of the few that might at least have a legitimate case for having a recurring monthly fee since ostensibly you're paying for cloud storage and synchronization across all of your devices.

I really want to move out of Lightroom CC. However, there are no competitors out there that has cloud sync on my Mac and iOS devices.

Hoping that Affinity can come up with something. Even if it doesn't sync, I would still get it.

Boostnote is still free and open source. They also have a paid version but there is no real reason to switch to it.
