Many of us in this forum are people that have tried to influence those around us - family, friends, coworkers - to use better security practices such as password managers. Those personal experiences alongside the prevalence and adoption of cloud-sync enabled password managers (including browsers) creates a reasonable foundation from which to form a not-fully-ignorant opinion.

Yes, like me, and I've had success with getting people to use keepass. Should I extrapolate my personal anecdote to apply to everyone?

You have had success getting non-technically oriented friends and family to use a Keepass across multiple devices? Then you're doing far better than me.
I don't think your experience is representative. As I stated in my previous comment, I think the relative success of cloud-enabled password managers vs. more secure options like Keepass are a non-anecdotal form of support for this opinion. But I would be way off (which I also acknowledge).
