FWIW, browser autofill is a basic password manager.

Chrome password manager and Apple Passwords count, in this context.
In the US, only about 34 to 36% of adults use a password manager. Of the ~64% that don't, an alarming 20% reuse the same password across almost every service, and a ton just rely on browser autofill.
If you use a password manager, you are in the minority. Hell, even if you don't use a PW manager and you at least use a different password for different services, you are ahead of most people.
The general population is largely computer illiterate, and have a staggering lack of basic security hygiene.
