For the vast majority of users, isn't it 1, by a _lot_? OS-integrated password managers that generate unique secure passwords are slowly helping here, but I suspect most people have approximately the same password for their email, bank, and Netflix.

I don't think that it's this obvious. The number of passwords stolen from the server goes in the hundreds of millions annually on average (well, at least the cases made public). While I don't have any numbers and reusing a password is clearly unwise, I don't think that there are that many Netflix employees getting a kick out of posting on Twitter under their customer's name.
