There was a previous article on this with more explanation that I’m struggling to find.
The gist was that they do hash all passwords stored, the problem was that there was a mistake made with the internal tool they use to do that hashing which led to the passwords inadvertently going into some log system.

Makes sense now, thank you
“mistake”
I call BS. The reviews I’ve gone through for trivial stuff would’ve exposed this.
This was intentional.
Hanlon’s Razor revised: Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, except where there is an established pattern of malice.
Yeah, cause trivial systems are a lot easier to parse and review. At a base level that’s nonsense logic.
My point being the extensiveness of a review process.
The more important a system, the more people it impacts, etc, the more extensive the review process.
Someone chose to ignore this risk. That’s intentional.
You quite frankly, don’t know what happened and if you’re confident it’s intentional, all that says is that you’re a grump who likes to complain.
A mistake doesn’t mean it’s an accident. A mistake means they made the wrong choice.
Never assume malice when something can be explained by stupidity
