Is it responsibility of the website to make sure that the passwords are strong for the general user ?
Yes. If a password is too weak and it results in a user's account getting compromised, the website gets the blame. Thus, the website mandates the password policy.
And depending on the site, weak passwords and compromised accounts directly impact other users. Imagine if eBay had no password policy and some of their largest sellers had their accounts compromised as a result; what impact would that have on buyers?
