The number of people who pick '12345' or 'password' is astronomical. And forcing them to remember a "strict" password is more detrimental to the user experience than just having a user/password combination.

Besides, what are you going to do if you get dupes? "Sorry, that password is already in use"?

I see now that it is a terrible idea. Thank you.
