Shouldn’t service providers be hashing the plaintext passwords that show up in dark web leaks to see if matching users reused those passwords?

Wouldn’t really be of any use if they’re doing things right and salt their hashes

They typically do, but that doesn't stop hackers from posting the plaintext.

The real solution is to never store plaintext and to use MFA.
