Because I was there early, my iCloud email/Apple ID is a fairly short but uncommon word, and I receive at least three of these emails every week. I also constantly get subscribed to newsletters I never requested, and receive many messages (both emails and through iMessage) from people who thought they were contacting someone else.
I have two theories on why is this:
1. There is at least one person out there in the world who is convinced they own my iCloud email address, but have "forgotten" their password, so they keep trying to reset it. Meanwhile they keep giving out the address as though it were theirs.
2. There's simply an astounding number of people using iCloud, many of them technically unsophisticated users, so data entry mistakes in login forms and other places will be more common.
I do reset my password every week or so, just to be safe.
