How sound is the insistence of demanding users to create passwords with numbers, symbols and lower/uppercase letters? As long as your passphrase has a high enough entropy why does it matter?

Post Body
My bank specifically insists on passwords that include numbers and symbols. But, the passwords can only be between 8 to 10 characters long...
I'm not a cyber expert (which is why i'm asking here) but isn't the blind insistence on HaRd2re$$ber passwords as opposed to easytorememberhardtocrack passwords both technologically and mathematically unsound?
