I used to work in IT and one of my responsibilities was managing the company email and TONS of people used their work email for personal stuff. At least 1/3 of the company.

what do these people expect to happen if they change jobs and loose access to their accounts?

You don't lose your account in some service just because you lost the email it was created with. Sure, previous employer could takeover your account by resetting password, but do you really expect them to do that?

Magic. No, seriously.

Drives me even more bonkers when it's a gov or quasi-gov organization where anyone with a few dollars could get a copy of everything.

Then there's the stuff that can come out of private sector in a lawsuit.

Righjt but they are talking about site's customer base. Most people have e-mail hosted on some big provider

I see this all too often in customer data at work too.
