It’s just better than what most people do in practice. People see it, think they’ll practice good security and not trust the computer (lol, the one they’re using currently), and then do nothing online or offline to protect their security, just pick a similar password to their others, write it down, or save it in a file…

Its also a good single point of defence if you use it exclusively. You can also use much harder and longer, unique passwords and not need to memorize them.
