I think perhaps I forgot to include more details
When a complex password like snoops is used there is a tendency for that password to be reused across multiple services where as a three word password that’s easier to remember promotes and generally encourages unique passwords to be used therefore minimising the risk of a breach.
NIST do not recommend the use of complex characters or enforced password rotation anymore
However CISO’s gonna CISO
