What on last.fm ever needs a secure password though? Maybe someone can listen to my premium radio if I paid for it, or scrobble as me, but I really don't care about either of those. As a user, a less secure password for sites that need less security just makes sense.

See, I disagree. I think scrobbling is Last.fm's biggest feature and it's important for them to keep it accurate. I would be devastated if someone messed up my scrobbles, I've been scrolling for 10 years and have amassed very nice statistics about my listening habits. On top of that I have to imagine they sell this data to record companies and the less accurate the data the less valuable.
