Because (in my own case) I’m incapable of typing a password correctly using the on-screen keyboard unless I can see when I’ve pressed the wrong key. Seriously.

While there does seem to be good reason for some direct solution in the scenario you describe, one alternative is to use a password manager to copy/paste in the password instead of typing it. (Of course, you need to unlock the password manager privately first.)
