Right, good point. I'm relying on my memory here, but when the advanced protection program was first launched, I recall that one of the benefits of it for journalists and high-risk individuals was that changing recovery options (email address, phone number) would have always required a manual review and a confirmation round by someone at Google.
I do think that Google should subject passwords for accounts in the program to HIBP checks. By this point every major browser provides at least some kind of password manager functionality. It'll probably never be the same quality as a stand-alone, fully focused password manager product, but it must be an improvement over forcing to memorise passwords.
