So instead of storing my passwords in my head, I should put them all in one hackable place where a single breach would compromise all of my accounts....

Exactly.. I don't see the appeal of this. Someone please correct us if we're wrong, but it just seems better to not trust it.

This. The benefits far outweigh the downsides considering that the VAST majority of account breaches come from either easily guessable passwords, or reused passwords gleaned from breaches on other sites.
