I agree that there are probably strong incentive to hack popular password managers, but I'm sure it's true of all popular software. And a soon as you manage to inject a backdoor in a software, even if it's a cat picture sharing software, you might be able to steal very sensitive passwords from the victim (via keylogger or other means).
Having said that, if you want to steal passwords, are you going to attack the password manager where security might be taken seriously or target the cat picture software whose incentive to do good security are much lower? Personally I'd choose the cat picture one ^^ (if it's very popular)
Also I just want to note that you might very well get hacked even if you are an uninteresting target. Most attacks are not targetted I think, they just send phishing emails to list leaked from miscellaneous website. And protecting against good phishing attacks is extremely hard, and I personally wouldn't ever dare saying "I would never fall for this" or blame victims for getting tricked.
