And how many "normal" people do you know that use a password manager? It's 0 for me. They don't even use post-it notes, which would be an improvement over "I'll just try to remember the password, and if I can't, I'll ask someone to help me ".

Assuming the "someone" is the forgot password feature and not a person, this seems like a sound approach. It's basically using the site itself as a slightly clunky password manager.

Oh, so in other words; a tiny fraction of the internet using public?
Not really, considering there is zero reason for anyone to ever lose a password assuming they are using a password manager. You could even make it free for the first few hours after the account is created or the password is changed in case the user pastes it into their password manager incorrectly.
