Or some people stopped caring

This.

If a system requires an account/password, and people find ways to bypass or weaken account security, perhaps you shouldn't be using accounts.

In days of yore, "cypherpunk/cypherpunk" or "cypherpunks/cypherpunks" was a common convention. Those are found 140 and 38 times respectively in haveibeenpwned.

Considering many systems went out of their way to prevent / disable such accounts, and the convention fell out of practice, that's notable.

Or just people sharing accounts with random strangers.
