Whats terrifying is that they are referring to "their password" and not their passwords.

Password reuse is much worse that having a weak password. Hackers only brute force high value targets, everyone else should just aim to have unique passwords for every service they use.

However, the average person can only remember 5-10 unique passwords and they have many many accounts...password reuse. For the average person password managers aren't an option for normal people, so we have a big problem.
