This precisely. MM2 did let users specify a password, but by default
it simply assigned them a new randomly-generated one for each list
at time of subscription.

In the case of one environment I migrated to MM3, we actually also
had multiple list domains with many of our users subscribing to
lists on more than one domain. MM3's proper multi-tenancy allowed us
to combine the lists for all those domains into a single deployment,
with a side effect being that if a user creates a login for one
domain they'll reuse that same login for every other domain in the
same environment. So at least for me, the answer is that MM2 had
per-list subscriber passwords, while MM3's Django user backend gets
you cross-domain accounts.

Another aspect of this is RBAC. A user may be a list subscriber,
moderator and owner. Instead of separate moderator and owner
passwords shared by multiple individuals, the user's unique password
can get them access to all the roles they've been granted (and can
also be individually reset or revoked without having to communicate
a new password to every moderator). It's not just a matter of
security, but also operational efficiency.
