Is this anything more than the results of plaintext leaks and all hash cracked passwords from prior leaks of the past years? My guess is rainbow table attacks have allowed passwords up to certain sizes and with certain character sets to be cracked in mass due to data leaks. The source of this dB was not clear.

Not really.
Only some 10% of the passwords are new. Most are old ones from the 2021 leak. That is why it did not make big news this time.
Not worth the 45GB download.
