1. Phishing is harder when you only ever enter your password into 1 place, and that one place is designed to be secure and consistent.
2. Much easier to have exactly 1 strong password than unique strong passwords for every website.
Is it better than a vault full of random passwords? Probably not, beyond pressuring the user into using the more secure method
