The scenario I was looking at was..
User signs up with Site A with Password 1.
User signs up with Nest with Password 1.
Site A gets compromised.
Nest couldn't know if you'd used the same password on each site. The only way they could know is if they used the same hashing algo with the same salt or SHA-1 with no salt. Highly unlikely.
I suppose Nest could check the Pwned Passwords API every time they logged in, but I haven't seen anyone deploy that yet, IIRC all solutions I've seen check Pwned Passwords API when the set the password. Setting a password and checking a password are often different systems.
Though as Hanlon's Razer said: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Part of me wants Microsoft to be so evil they have deliberately made the start menu search so impossibly poor that you end up opening a web search half the time and making them money. But I know deep down, that they are just incompetent and can't be bothered with the desktop anymore.
To protect the invention from commercial patents?
Sounds sensible to me.
2. Violence against Pro government folk is bad. However there has also been a lot of documented instances of Pro government forces being dressed as protestors and sparking violence.
From what I've seen it all started remarkably peaceful and had since been escalated to a position where the government has free rein. Not something the protestors wanted.

It's certainly regional and probably differs down to friendship groups.

Goes off to see just how prevalent real ridesharing is on the platforms
So whilst it might have been meant callously, from my third party glance it seems quite important.
But, if I'm walking or driving, it tends to keep my mind more active, alert, and aids my concentration on not only the book, but the walking and driving too.
