Because using a password manager as intended solves several well-known and very common password-related attacks like credential stuffing. A password manager makes it possible for the average person to have high length, completely random passwords for each and every site, and to have them available on all of their devices. That makes it a lot less likely that people will do bad things like re-using passwords, having short passwords, or writing them down. My LastPass account would have been in the breach, but as my vault was protected with 151,000 iterations and a very long password, it'd take an attacker a long time to be able to get to my Hacker News password, which they'd find was 50 random characters long and looked something like jtES^cqhPj3@&rgPW5#frmDpf#^gGyf3eRoPH#fUZWJQGNFJvW They'd also find that I've since changed it!
