Daniel, if you wish to PM me, I will provide chapter and verse around the necessity for having a Password Reset. I was amongst the most vocal in pushing for a stricter one and the 180-day limit was longer than personally was after.
Your conflation with Xara's poor product naming does not develop your argument and I have seen no recent signs for another name fest.
If there was a later vBulletin version that Xara would fund, we could be less draconian but we have what we have. For one, I would match your contribution. Xara has chosen not to move up to vBulletin Cloud ($30/m) despite Mod pressure.
Yes, it is very old. No, it is not a 'tickbox' exercise.
It is not your password safety you need to worry about, it is the abuse from other accounts that wish to exploit lax password management, amongst other matters.
