The only time I can think of when you'd want to block a password manager / form filler is when it gets the heuristic wrong. It's why autocomplete=one-time-code exists.

Things like an admin form in a web app - I might be setting the password for a new user account, but it's not my password, so I don't want my browser to store it.

One-time codes or temporary passwords are another example where the password manager may think it's worth saving, despite being used once.

Your first example is precisely what autocomplete=“new-password” is for:
