Hachiman does this for Yukino, Satomi, later Tobe/Ebina/himself.

That's not a compromise. That's self-sacrifice.

When Hachiman talked with Yui shortly after their class' BL play, he asked if Yukino told her anything, to which Yui responded "Nothing you wanted to know".
They were quite clearly talking about the accident. Hachiman
is curious.

Of course not. People can have casual friends. That's what most relationships in high school are. In fact, that's what Hayato/Yumiko's clique is. Yui is also friends with Yukino despite her never opening up.
Perhaps what I should have said is that Hachiman and Yukino are not
close.

That might be a fair bit of wild theorizing though, it could be they were just having a conversation and nothing more.

Oh, I agree. However, that doesn't change the fact that Hachiman's little exchange with Yui shows that he still
is curious.
