With fast hashes it's not a huge problem if not ALL of the password candidates are unique, but for slow hashing algorithms like bcrypt/scrypt/pbkdf2 with high cost factors/iterations etc, it could matter a lot and therefore the user is responsible to avoid duplicate input by using more clever attack types or better rules that do not produce many duplicates.

Thank you very much for take a time to teach me, i understand all that you say me.
