Why not just use real words with longer password instead? That'd be easier to type than these shorter "word-like" syllables

Even if horse-battery-staple works mathematically people don't trust that it's "really random".

1password supports it as "memorable password".

We know from user generated passwords that people trust even less random stuff just fine

But you could always have an option for a different, more random-looking, style
