Good password managers, but what if not every single person wants to use "good password managers"
I agree it's not perfect, but at the same time it's better than using some third party service, or using plaintext, or using the same password everywhere
If somebody wants to use some gocryptfs or veracrypt for storing passwords, why not, it's not the best, but still pretty nice
Good password managers can even check the current open browser tab domain and autofill securely. Your random note taking app won't detect a phishing site.
On desktop it's the matter of extensions, so following your idea keepass or pass won't make a good password manager without a third party browser addon
