I think this is the key point. Security for relatively obscure and unimportant sites isn't really about those sites, it's about other sites. People reuse passwords a lot. They shouldn't, of course, but you can shout that from the rooftops all week and it won't change the fact that a lot of people do. If you suffer a significant breach, then a decent percentage of users will have their bank accounts put at risk from it. You can simply put the blame on the dumb users who reused passwords, but it's reasonable to want to do more.
