Because it's extremely funny to see how many people just create a password and then just yeet that shit straight down the memory hole and have to make a new account

That's honestly kind of a password manager paradox for me.
The master password should be strong, but it's also the only password you can't just get from the password manager whenever you need it. You also could need it anywhere so you can't just write it down and put it in a safe.
So you either use a memorable (and thus, relatively weak) password or you try to memorize a list of random letters, numbers, and symbols.

It's actually easier to memorize a randomly generated password than you'd expect. Initially you'll want to have it written down on a piece of paper you carry with you, but it takes less time than you might think before you no longer need that written record. My master password is a 20-character string of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, but I remember it very clearly. (It helps not to need to remember dozens of other passwords, too.)
Beyond that, password managers are just really convenient. I never have to do a "forgot password" thing on any website anymore, and the autofill functionality is really, really nice. At this point I honestly don't know how I lived without one for so long.
Oh I definitely still use a password manager, it's just that single point of failure (the master password) is kinda insecure for me rn.
