Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

It's saying I've been hacked on websites I've legitimately never even heard of, websites I have 100% never interacted with. Is this just a normal consequence of companies sharing all my data with other companies?

I can't speak to how you ended up on the list. The way haveibeenpwned works is that they crawl publicly available credential dumps and grab the associated usernames/emails for each cred pair. However it got there, your email ended up in one of those dumps. Recommend you change your passwords, make sure you don't repeat the same password across multiple sites and use a password manager so you don't have to remember dozens of passwords yourself.
