# of support calls was just an example of the visibility of account hacks (though it's also an unnecessary resource burden). there's more problems having a large percentage of hacked accounts than that, including possible financial liability depending on the site. even if money is not involved, you are (dependent on jurisdiction) not legally allowed to store user data without protecting it, and that includes minimum password strength.

Thats why I think it should basically make you have to opt out of the minimum password requirement. Opting out should put the responsibility on the person more. As in they didnt their best to protect your account, and told you the best way to guard your password. And the account holder opted out, making their account more vulnerable
