In your scenario, what happens if you need to change strong_master_password? I’m assuming you now need to change every password on every single site or else remember your new strong password and your old.

If you have to change your master password, you have to change all passwords.

With a vault, if you ever “leaked” your vault file, it’s the same. To me, it’s hard to think to a realistic case where your master password is leaked, but you’re 100% sure your vault file is not.
