Length doesn't matter if it's randomly trying every possible combination. It could just as easily guess the longest possible password as the shortest.

Other methods of attack would be a good reason to make it long and nonsensical; not a random brute force attack.

With this logic you could say the chance to hit the lottery jackpot is the same as if the numbers are just 3 digits long. It’s not trying all the possible combinations all at once.

If the password was forced to be a specific length and could not be shorter or longer, it would be the same as that. But they're not usually forced to be a specific length. They do have bounds, but that also makes it so there are fewer possible combinations to guess.
