Comment:

 I consider this to be the correct behaviour of the function.

 I think it's worth noting this comment in the functions description:

 > Please note: This function should be used sparingly and is really only
 meant for single-time application. Leveraging this improperly in a plugin
 or theme could result in an endless loop of password resets if precautions
 are not taken to ensure it does not execute on every page load.

 This function should be not be used where `wp_update_user( [ 'ID' =>
 $user_id, 'user_pass' => 'hunter1' ] );` would be more appropriate.
