Fixed it today; replaced the electrical part of the ignition switch.

The lock cylinder was fine and verified there were no passlock codes. I pulled apart the old ignition switch, 3 of the 5 contacts in the switch had carbon trace burns on the contact face.

They obviously been eaten away from electrical arc each time the switch was opened and closed. So oh well, 9 year old car some things are bound to wear out. But crazy stuff being able to drive and have nothing inside the car working because of it.

However toward the end of it getting really bad, it set O2 heater code, cruise inhibit code, body module code, but after replacement and driving, the codes have not reposted. Nothing has failed to operate correctly.
