If all characters are equally likely, it's a fine password. It's long and certainly immune to any dictionary attack.

But if the attacker knows it's generated with this method, then it is probably a poor one. Bottoms tend to spam only homerow keys, either in all lowecase or all uppercase. The restricted character set vastly reduces the search space.
