That's another rate limiting that has nothing to do with the hash strength.
Good password hashing functions have internal rate limits that reduce the likelihood of anyone being able to break the hashes easily because they will be expensive even when fully implemented in hardware.
For how long are they resilient it's another question but bcrypt is pretty good, it's quite slow, and is expensive to implement in ASIC/FPGA.
