The funny thing is that when BLAKE2 was announced, there were a lot of comments here, on reddit, and elsewhere, saying "but why is it fast? hashes must be slow to prevent password bruteforcing!". Authors had to add FAQ explaining the difference. So, at least some people have learned that "password hashes" must be slow.
