Alternatively these dumps could be made public and you could get privacy for free instead of having to query a service.

It's frustrating how secretive this is all treated and how to get anything useful you have to go on telegram instead of there being an open way of checking.

By "dumps" are you talking about the information HIBP makes available? Or the raw, leaked data it came from (potentially containing breached passwords and whatnot).

HIBP makes barely anyone information available. By dumps I mean the full database dump that was taken from somewhere. Yes, this could include password (potentially hashed), names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, etc.

To undercut other people charging for it to democratization access and accelerate reaction to leaked information.
