Actually No. It take 5 minutes to create a script to randomize a password, encrypt and upload.

Abusers have been doing the same for 20+ years and it is very effective.

I think the question is not about the persistence of uploaders but the safe harbor of innocent hosters.

For example, hosting a password-protected binary with a cleared hash is one thing. The bad actor posting a password (any password) might be another.
