> I'd rather get my accounts hacked because of password reuse than lose access to my email, forever.

When your account is stolen the attacker changes your password. You lose access to your email forever and lose access to all of the services that use your email as a recovery platform.



The point here is that that happens to these people already. I'm sure they'd much rather have only a chance of it happening than it being a guarantee.
