No, minlength="n" isn't equivalent too pattern=".{n}". @pattern should only be
used for specific cases given that it removes all semantic.
In addition of passwords fields that require a minimum length (I guess that
would be the primary use case), minlength could be used for field that require
a specific length in association with maxlength (with maxlength and minlength
having the same value).
