I think collision attacks could also be a concern if the administrator is not enforcing strong passwords.

Phishing attacks rely more on tricking users into giving up their passwords, not necessarily on weak passwords.

I agree with not enforcing stronger passwords makes it easier for attackers to try common passwords.

Shouldn't the administrator enforce stronger password policies to prevent this?

Yeah, that makes sense. Without strong passwords, it's easier for attackers to guess using common words or phrases.
