Until not so long ago, the browsers' password storages provided absolutely zero security. They are better now, but still password managers offer some advantages. For me the most important is the ability to use multiple browsers. But there's other stuff: random password generator, ability to store custom key/value pairs, 2FA, etc.

I've been encrypting my Firefox password store for so many years I can't even remember.

Is that not secure or something?

Yes, actually. https://palant.de/2018/03/10/master-password-in-firefox-or-t...

(Maybe they've fixed this since, I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like security is being taken very seriously in any case.)
