Important to note there's a big difference in leeching between hot and cold items being put into contact with plastics.

Fair. There are also differences that come from length of exposure, though?

I don't want to start doomerism. I was just somewhat personally surprised at how many things have plastic linings. I do want companies testing, but I don't think it is good for mental health to get alarmed at all possibilities.

Most canned foods are heated as part of the canning process, aren't they? There are a handful of things that intentionally contain live cultures -- yogurts, some sauerkrauts & similar -- but otherwise I'd expect almost any canned food to have been packed hot or heated in the container during canning in order to kill food-spoiling organisms.
