What data does this send and who receives it?
Is money involved in this partnership? If so, who paid whom?
What was the motivation behind this? Is there any study that shows any benefit from haveibeenpwned.com? I.e. has there been a decrease in hijacked accounts, etc?

I don't think there's been studies, but it seems obvious to me that the goal here is to prevent re-use of leaked passwords, and I'd consider it a surprising result if this wouldn't help in that.

Today, this has dropped down to around 11-12% and hopefully will continue to go down.
