Is there a benefit for setting up a secure password if I am the only person living in my apartment?

If your user is a sudo user, then all the commands that require sudo are run without password. Is like being root without password in that regard. Web based exploits that run trough browsers are not so many in the wild and maybe you will never run across such web page. On the other hand, think that you might have a typo in your command, and without the password you will run it before noticing there is a typo. In some cases that can lead to a broken system.

You can also follow this and not be bothered by entering the password

Also, this might explain a few things

In fact, there is a profile to disable the polkit to ask the user for their password all the time
