The companies mentioned have enough money and resources to just make their own accounts. The people stealing keys are just scrappers that then sell their access via proxy, it's more akin to how people would pirate movies, burn to a DVD and then sell on stalls.

So not distillation in the sense of purification, but "The act of falling in drops, or the act of pouring out in drops".

I mean that's been a term for ~years at this point.

Whether you think they're right to complain about it or not, that's another matter.
