why bother? the password is just 1Password or any of the other twenty common passwords.

Because the password to their homebanking account is the same.
Yeah, but you typically need other user data to validate their banking. Obviously it's good that people aren't grabbing the data, but lets be honest here: there is still a class of people who don't really know how to protect themselves online etc. Therefore to capture this data is not that hard, you just need to be persistent - stalking their rubbish, having key info etc.
