Why?
Because using a reputable k-anonymity service is as risky as throwing apple peels in the trash. Or just looking at an apple.
I’d argue it’s generally a very sane reaction to instinctively say no when some service you don’t know about wants your password.
The commentor you replied to obviously didn’t know about the pedigree of haveibeenpwned beforehand
Same person said that to me too and refuses to elaborate. Really strengthens their argument.
