The 'S' in PSK stands for "shared", as opposed to most other passwords.
It must also be entered on a touchscreen.

What is the threat model that warrants a random string as a password for

I believe the entities capable of cracking such a password have better 
things to do than stealing my internet or sniffing through my lan ;)
