The percentage of regular people who care about any of the risks discussed in this thread is approximately zero. For better or worse.
Your typical home buyer isn't reading the contract they sign when they buy a home, let alone the privacy policy of a simple tool they use to check if they have a mortgage with decent terms.
When people who do care about privacy and security make their voices heard, such as the case here where the owner has committed to improving their policy & processes, it benefits everyone using the product or service.
It’s not in the spirit of a “Show HN” to attack the guy’s privacy policy and shut down the idea over security concerns that the general public wouldn’t think twice about.
No one "attacked" the author.
The first comment said "not inspiring confidence" and then WaitWaitWha gave a very thoughtful comment with actionable advice, based on that comment and the reply. These are not attacks.
