Would have to be able to do without many jobs in the USA! (Obviously glad though you’ve got your options and they’re sufficient.)
Also recommend to others keeping a list of all places from the past seven years.

I've literally never had a US employer ask me for prior addresses. That's in ~20 years of employment.
Hell, I've had employers that didn't ask for current address.
WTF is it that employers think they can get out of the last 7 years of addresses? That's private information, absolutely none of their business.
It helps catch attempted identity theft. Lots of people who are not eligible for employment steal the identities of those who are. But they will have to make up any data they don’t know, or that is inapplicable because the true holder of that identity died a while ago.
So basically I just need to hire a professional with access to a data broker to tell me what a prospective employer already knows about me.

It's used for background checks to identify relevant criminal records, debt records, etc.
That information can be pulled as part of a background check, if that's required for the job.
