All security is mitigation. Nothing is 100% secure, so you do your best and have a backup plan for when/if it falls apart.1password stores passwords in encrypted files. Even so they have a better security policies they did not address the main problem. Anything that stored in a file can be hacked, stolen, damaged, confiscated, broken,etc.
A simple solution is to not store passwords in any place and generate them on demand when they are needed. In this case they can not be hacked even with quantum computers. It is not possible to find a black cat in a black room if there are no cats in this room.
You're right in that the best password is one that doesn't actually exist, and this is along the lines of what hardware 2FA keys and Apple's new Passkey stuff does. But I'm not sure I'd call entirely abandoning the concept of passwords worldwide and replacing them a "simple solution".
