I would hope they are instead using a password generator and password safe such
as Keepass, Passwordsafe, Lastpass or Bitwarden. Writing things down is not so
good.
Welcome to the world of zero-trust.

Well, I frequently advice writing down passwords. Yes, I mean it.
However it is not advice directed to highly experienced IT-specialist.
It for my mom, my aunt and dozens of IT illiterates which do use
computers. Sometimes they use computers for web browsing, social media
and emails, but sometimes they also want to use internet banking . In
many cases I advise to not use it - too much risk for IT-uneducated
person. (note: I started the first internet bank in Poland - on
mainframe :-) )
Regarding passwords - IMHO private notebook/organizer is much better
than saving passwords in web browser (do you remember password
stealers?) or other "nice and automatic" methods. Even IT illiterates
know how to protect paper organizer. And they know ways to obfuscate the
notes.
Last, but not least: no hacker know method to read paper notebook. And
most people are not subject of interest of KGB or other three letter
agency.
