Maybe that's their goal. But if a password has very strict requirements, I cannot choose my own password. This means I cannot remember it, which is annoying in itself even if there are no consequences for security (I need to write it down, reset it every so often, or call them to unlock my account -- a lot of effort).

The result is that a customer of their service is annoyed. I think a login/signup procedure that makes people happy instead of annoy them should be worth a lot to any brand.
