Isnt storing plaintext passwords in plain text in a db is the same way as storing them in the cloud?

Depends on how you are storing them in the cloud. The password manager I use uploads only a single encrypted file to the cloud that I sync down to the devices I where I want access to my passwords. The file is decrypted locally for access to the passwords. Someone who gains access to my cloud storage can get my password database file, but without the password they can't easily use it.
