That’s all you can do though, extend the time it takes to brute force, so I’m not sure what the distinction being made is.

even if someone brute forces an offline copy of the hashes they wouldn’t result in actual useable passwords

I think maybe I misunderstood this part. I thought you were suggesting that salted hashed passwords were uncrackable but maybe I misunderstood this
