This is the point I am making. These sites do not matter. I have no attachment to them. I have no need to keep them secure.

If one site lost its database. Lets say I have 60 accounts on various sites. Based on my 3 passwords 20 or so would probably be compromised. Apart from maybe my name and email address these sites have almost no other personal information. What is the worst that could happen? The account gets banned? A phishing attempt for a site I don't care about?

I don't need to change the password. If an account gets banned or the password changes I will just make another account. I would rather do this than not know passwords and rely on some third party service to make and store secure ones for me.
