50% of the companies will send you your password in email. I never seen anything different for example most of hosting services, email hostings etc.
I am aware of risks and I agree it is not optimal, however for accounts that going to be DELETED anyway, because they are 6 months + inactive, this is the last resort in case they didnt log because they forgot password and was not able to recover it.
If there is someone uncomfortable with storing any password in email, there is of course chance to reset his password on website which sends only confirmation code to change password on website.
