Why read.cash uses different wallets/addresses for the same seed phrase? Now I have 3 different wallets for the same seed phrase on read.cash. Now I don't even know the derivative path to the latest one.

Read.cash does not use different addresses for the same seed phrase. It uses multiple seeds for multiple wallets. If you start read.cash on a new device, a new browser or the same browser in incognito mode, read.cash recognises it as a new device. You will be given the option to enter your seed so that a new wallet is not created for you. A visible warning will be displayed. If you do not enter your seed, a new wallet with a new seed will be created for you, but you can switch between the wallets if you want, provided you know the seed of the wallets. If you have forgotten your seed and have not written it down, your funds are lost.
I used the same seed in different browsers and each one has a different wallet with different derivation paths. Each one has separate funds.
That's strange. When I did it, no new wallet was created.
I always thought it was strange as well.
