Sure just if fully given in this way it’s basically the same as an 11 character password.

Only of the attacker knows whether it's a password or phrase. I'd argue that passwords are far more common and that's what a cracker would focus on first.

should be resistant to attacks even if there is perfect knowledge of how it was generated

As far as I know there still is no way to create actual randomness. You'll still have some pseudo-random number generator and a hopefully unguessable seed. If you have "perfect knowledge" about that, cracking the password is almost trivial.

Morden computers have hardware that generates entropy. It is used for cryptography.

Also, when creating password for yourself, you can use a simple physical dice, it's truly random.
