Because anyone that has ever been responsible for anything knows that there’s a difference between something being your fault and something being your problem.

Breach notification etc legislation in some jurisdictions will also require that you report successful widespread credential stuffing.

Even AWS with their “shared responsibility model” works with GitHub etc to ensure that programmatic access credentials aren’t accidentally exposed via public repositories. This isn’t credential stuffing, but it’s a blindingly accurate demonstration of the fact that drawing a line in the sand and saying “users, work it out from here!” and attempting to wash your hands of the situation is nothing more than the ill-informed pipe dream of someone that’s never had to deal with this stuff in reality.
