To be fair, all that has gone wrong appears to be the subject gets a bit embarrassed (depending on their prudes), and their marketability might have been affected (not necessarily in a negative manner).

Yeah, it's not cool in the same way it's not cool to publish someone's home address or anything private¹ on the internet, but the consequences are hardly disastrous, so it is possible that people have actually thought "what could possibly go wrong" and decided to take the smallish risk anyway.
