Virgin's policy in several areas is rather wanting and only limiting users to 10 characters at most and not even allowing punctuation marks is ridiculous in this day in age. So Virgin have an element of responsibility to allow a decent password makeup also but to me it sounds like your blaming the end user entirely on password policy.

It would be good to allow users to set more secure passwords without Virgin being silly and saying no you can't have x or y in a password.

Maybe the GDPR fine they will eventually face will force them to rethink their practices.
