Genuinely: why? All that is related to the business email is already accessible, it's just been forwarded elsewhere. The info is already known. What's to discover?

No company is obligated to do anything. Such lack of obligation is not sufficient reason to praise companies that do the bare minimum to keep user data safe. Sure they aren't obligated but how on earth does that matter?

This is the way the world works now and anyone who disputes the justification of it just gets neatly added to the pile of "complaints" burned by elites for warmth.

Animals have the instinct to shit in front of you and not feel the slightest discomfort doing so too. Should we all start shitting in front of each other to more closely align our behavior to animal instincts?

You will find, in time, that nobody has an actual answer to this. It's purely nerd-lust for not doing things the simple way
