a piece of paper is much more secure than a database. physical access will literally always take more effort than if I can just steal your shit from the comfort of my own home.
you're talking about trading security for convenience. and you can do that as long as you use some common sense.
for example, you could write down your most sensitive passwords (bank etc.) and do your best to commit those to memory if you're "at the club" as opposed to your ESPN account or whatever where the hack to life impact ratio is minimal. store those in your password manager all you want.
there is no easy way to have 200 passwords lol. it's like having 200 keys on a keychain.

you could also just write some down, can't hack paper
edit: seriously, think about it. why would you want to put ALL of your passwords into the hands of ONE vendor or company? it makes no sense. those services are so worthwhile to hack, it's almost certain they will be targeted. the company may even get hacked and not disclose anything about it to cover their own ass.
just think twice before trusting a random company with the keys to your life. anything you can say about how "secure" 1Password or BitWarden is was probably said about LastPass.

ok, you're just talking about trading convenience for security. you're saying it's a waste of time aka inconvenient. that doesn't mean the paper method is less secure.
nobody said anything about an "equal substitute." there are obvious tradeoffs.
