You are mistaken on one think: it is not just being it "theoretically" possible but likeliness -or hardness- of it.
If the possibility of an attacker guessing my password at first try is one in a billion -or trillion- chance, then we can say it pretty secure. But hacking a cloud with a possible zero-day flaw and cracking a password database is not that hard if we compare it with your example.
