"Why passwords have never been weaker—and crackers have never been stronger," seems to be tautology..

So, in that sense, the accurate claim should be something like "passwords are getting a little bit better, but crackers are improving by waaaaaay more, and that shifts the balance".
In fact, in this case, the password that they are cracking are already hashed. They don't get better at all.
