Biggest advantage is with modern managers like 1Password on Apple operating systems, at least, there is tight integration that makes their use very seamless.
I have just one ridiculous master password that I have memorized (1Password has a great blog post talking about how to use the diceware method to pick a truly random yet fairly easy to memorize master password). With just that one password there is now not a penalty to keep individual, random passwords on all my accounts.
Password managers like 1Password are also integrating google auth support for two factor authentication and again in iOS in particular it's a VERY seamless experience to authenticate with 2 factor. macOS Monterey brought some further integrations but it's still not as seamless as iOS.
And I think that's what's really key - it's not like we all don't know passwords are a pain in the ass. OS vendors need to keep stepping up and making integrations with things like password managers easier until we finally come up with something that can replace them.
