  hashing on client side is considered a bad idea and almost never done.

    Really everytime you log in too.

    It’s not a bad idea and it is often done, just not in a browser/webapp context.

      Can you give an example where this is done?

        HMAC relies on hashing of a shared secret for verifying authenticity and integrity of a message, for example.

  Of course. You receive the password in plain on account creation, do the process you need, and then store it hashed.

  That’s fine and normal

      When you create an account you type your password in. This gets sent to the server, and then it is hashed and stored

      So there is a period of time where they have your unhashed password

      This is true of every website you have ever made a password on

        So why would an agent at Larian have man-in-the-middle access between the password being sent to the server, and the auto-hash?

  Um. Yeah, because you provided it to them. They have to have it in plain text in order to hash it.
