I just use the built in Mac app. Never had a prob with it.

What are you referring to with "the built in Mac app"? Keychain?
If so, that really doesn't have the capabilities of apps like 1Password.
What other capabilities? Genuinely curious.
1. Ability to generate passwords
2. Ability to set characteristics of passwords generated: length, number of digits, number of characters
3. Show of the strength of passwords
4. General categories: passwords, logins, secure notes, credit cards, identities, software licenses, etc.
5. Security audits: weak passwords, duplicate passwords, age of passwords
6. Ability to group passwords in personalized folders for order and quicker access
1. Ability to generate passwords
Keychain does that. See screenshot below.
2. Ability to set characteristics of passwords generated: length, number of digits, number of characters
You can set the length (max length in Mojave is 31) and you can choose from several combinations such as numbers and letters, memorable, random, etc, but you cannot customize it as much as in 1Passcord, true.
3. Show of the strength of passwords
Keychain does that. Again see screenshot.
4. General categories: passwords, logins, secure notes, credit cards, identities, software licenses, etc.
Again, you can do some of this in keychain. You can have passwords, logins, secure notes, and you can have multiple keychains. What you cannot do it organize it like in 1Password.
5. Security audits: weak passwords, duplicate passwords, age of passwords
You can see the age if you sent by Last Modified. But indeed you cannot easily find duplicates.
6. Ability to group passwords in personalized folders for order and quicker access
You can probably do some of that with having multiple keychains
