If you go to settings, apps, special access, install unknown apps, bitwarden are listed here, but why?

Not sure. Maybe it has something to do with the autofill framework?

I think not, other apps with this permission are Chrome, Files go, Gmail and Drive

I don't know why it is listed there, but from what I see it is not enabled and set to "Not allowed", so this permission is not granted.
