No, what I'm saying is: If your password was good enough for a quality KDF, then improving it to use a 50x worse KDF is very easy. If the worse one requires you "use an AES key", then the good one pretty much also required you to "use an AES key". If the good one didn't require that, then the 50x worse one also doesn't require that. Generate a single letter and slap it on the end, or human-pick two letters.

50x is not the decider between allowing a good password and allowing a bad password. It's a tiny little nudge.

Edit: To put "little nudge" another way, if you have a 1-10 scale of password quality, most steps in that scale are going to be more than 5.6 bits apart.
