For ordinary users, setting a strong passphrase is all they need to do to have network with improved security, even in the mixed mode.

Then what's the point of even developing WPA3? Why not revise WPA2 to just require really long passwords?

That's basically what WPA3 is, it is an improvement to WPA2, not a completely new and separate protocol.
