I'm curious if this would really be considered unlawful access, since only pure idiocy and no hacking/scamming/etc were involved.

It would be in Canada, but our "misuse of computer" charge is overly broad and never been well tested.
On the other hand, in Hong Kong it would be straight to jail. Someone was sent a link by the airlines, he changed a couple of characters and it ended up showing another person’s data. The guy voluntarily reported the vulnerability and all he got was a criminal charge and found guilty
