I'm really not here to argue or defend the insurance companies, but it's hard to discuss if you're not got to read (or comprehend the content of) the article.

Total payouts per policy increased 74 per cent from 2020 (which also happened to see a major hailstorm strike northeast Calgary) to $1,707 last year.
Unless I'm mistaken and this is some-sort of insurance industry jargon meant to intentionally obfuscate the statistic, "payout per policy" sounds like total payouts divided by total policies... meaning $1700 from every policy, including claimless ones like mine (and yours?), are paid out to cover claims made by others...
