Except Change Healthcare got hacked, lost a ton of records and they are still operating. So those fines must be, could be up to xx,000 per person affected but in actuality, those affected will get Arbys coupon and C Suite will lose a week of yacht time.

Not even that. You always have insurance for this stuff.

But then the insurance company has to pay, and they'll work hard to make sure it doesn't happen. This doesn't sound like an explanation to me.

You don't really have a choice, you have to have insurance for breaches (HIPAA term, not strictly the typical cybersec term, means any loss of control of information that results in potential of dissemination of PII).

I didn’t even get an Arby’s coupon.

I got a letter telling me they gave away my information with a link to an “identity monitoring” site that looks like the CEOs nephew built in a weekend and just errors out when I sign up.

I'd honestly prefer an Arby's coupon or perhaps a crisp $1 note over "1 year subscription to our credit monitoring service"
