Is there any reason not to save my Apple ID info in the Passwords app? If not, why isn't it offered as an option when signing in?

No, you are free to save it there, but I don't see the real benefit since technically any device that can access the Passwords App is already signed in to your Apple Account, and if a device is not signed, then you don't have access to passwords app anyway to see the password there.
The only reason I see to have it there, is to be able to log in to your Apple Account on the Apple account website, or iCloud.com or some other Apple website that requires it more easily. The first time you do that, you'll be asked if you want to add it to the Passwords app.
saving any password is possible, but there are places where you cannot automatically fill in a password
Phil0124 - I like your logic : ) I was signed in and could access Passwords, but of course, that pw wasn't there. I had to go and find the pw elsewhere, then enter it manually into Passwords. Regarding that process - it is annoying that iOS won't let you see what you've typed there and also when setting up email accounts in Mail. Many thanks.
Lemmi1963 - Thank you too.
