Yep, exactly this. Perfect is the enemy of good. This is like the people who argue against your nontechnical relatives writing down their passwords. In reality, if they do that and have unique passwords for all their accounts, they're actually doing really well!
The base comparison seems to be a mixed character password with a length of 14. That's far more complex than the vast majority of passwords out there, so the simple three word password would be significantly more "secure" than the average password used.
Password managers are relatively easy to setup for technical people, but getting everything working on your home pc, tablet, and phone isn't a simple task for many people.
The threat 99.999999% of us face isn't that someone will bruteforce our password using a Cray. The attack that is currently occurring against you and the people you know is credential stuffing, which simply targets password reuse.
