After reading the article, I think it's more that people were tricked into [reusing passwords across websites instead of having a password manager and randomized passwords].

It's not on 23andMe, or anyone (other than the user) for that matter, to ensure the passwords used by the user are not copied passwords from other credentials.

Seems to me like passwords need to be regulated on a governmental level, but that's a can of worms of an idea that I am not ready to defend.
