When you log into the system, a keyboard is usually the only device you have to enter the password, unless you store in on paper or on a second device. And even if you store it on paper and the password is long, some operations like lock screen (that can be also misconfigured by domain admin) become expensive and thus impractical.

Sure. That's why I recommended password managers only for high privilege accounts. Passwords of those accounts should almost never be typed on a keyboard. They can be looked up by authorized personnel who logged on first with their low privilege account.
