Comment:

 The `user_pass` is a required parameter of `wp_insert_user()` at present.
 It's not optional, nor is it defaulting to a random password.

 > In this case, WordPress correctly generates a random password for the
 user.

 This functionality is not part of `wp_insert_user()`, instead this is part
 of `register_new_user()` which does not allow specifying the user's
 password.
