Lots of websites do weird modal overlays, domain changes and redirects, redesigns, or other tricks that break password autocompletion. I've never seen a secure password manager that's robust enough against all of these that it would eliminate the human factors causing the phishing opportunity here.
Apparently Google hasn't either, because that was their motivation behind developing these schemes.
