My goal when choosing a password (generator) typically isn't "what will tie up an adversary for the longest, preventing them from moving on to attack someone else".

Call me selfish, but if my password is known to be too tough to bother, so Eve moves on to someone else's weak password, great.

If you know your password is too tough to bother, then having people bash away at it is no cost to to, and benefit to everyone else.
