People already have a hard time remembering passwords without them being automatically changed.

You should not be trying to remember your passwords. That's what autofill is for, so you can use passwords that are actually secure.
I'm trying, but its not so easy to convince people I know.
Let Apple change their passwords so they have to use the manager! :D
I can remember two passwords: the one that gets me into my laptop, and the one that gets me into my password manager. And this feature requires one to use Apple's default password manager, ergo...

And I shouldn't remember the first one, I just haven't gotten 'round to setting up the Yubikey on the laptop just yet.

That's the point of the password manager. You shouldn't be remembering individual passwords, they should largely be random.
If you're trying to remember passwords, you're already doing it wrong
people should not really be remembering any password other than the master password for their password manager.

this also requires the passwords app to even function. so this should be a non-issue.
