Its not, but you can't just keep a passenger on your plane who is flipping out and might try something else crazy apart from that.

Yeah, identity is a problem (though I'm not in the US)
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease" is an adage that is unfortunately true, and I find it absolutely infuriating.
I would much prefer that we can all be polite and courteous to each other, so when being polite fails but having a screaming tantrum gets results it really makes me annoyed at the unfairness.
Spend it on completely mundane and practical things like securing a place to live, and buying a suit to interview for a job - because 5k simply isn't enough to make any immediate life-changing money on, even if you're from the future.
And I really need a place to sleep.
5k might be quick money if I was a sports buff and could remember match results, or knew the exact dates of significant events, or remembered a bunch of old lottery numbers, but that's not the case so it's off the table.
So yeah. Get a place. Get a suit (it's 1990, you need a suit), Get a job, earn some money, and spend half my wage on shares in Microsoft and other companies I remember as doing well.
I wouldn't be surprised if they use it for creation in some cases, depending on locale, or if you seem "suspicious" to their metrics in some way, e.g. registering while on a VPN
Algorithmic recommendations happen on the backend, so no chance of that unfortunately
Even Andor is true to that formula.
In one part, two characters are speaking over "radio" comms using code talk - presumably in case there are any Empire operatives listening in. And prior to that they kept missing each other because they weren't at their radios at the same time. Derp!
So you've got hyperspace travel and laser guns, but no data encryption, or text messaging. Alright then.
Except of course, they do have those things when the plot calls for it, and that's another reason to consider it fantasy. In most sci-fi the rules stay pretty consistent, but in fantasy it's flexible.

The way 2. is written is basically a death sentence.
What they presumably meant is "never exceed your ideal weight no matter how much you eat"
No career ladder left to climb, zero fucks left to give, he can just go full goblin mode and wear some comfy-ass robes and nobody is gonna say shit.
Beacon Pines was a quite lovely game.
Following on your theme of charitably assuming at least the possibility of a safe implementation, this could certainly be done without surfacing the hash on the front end.
It could be that each keystroke triggers an API request which sends the current input, then the API hashes it and compares that to the original, entirely in the backend.
Not likely, but possible.
