A few points: as @chrisfosterelli noted, if a package is being squatted we'll give it to you, no problem.

As for why we don't automatically/proactively handle squatting: it's a very thorny problem. Whatever minimum standard we applied to count as "not squatting" could be trivially discovered and gamed, eventually resulting in people who wanted to squat on a name just publishing a copy of `express` or something to that name as a placeholder.

Relatedly: you can report offensive, or deliberately confusing package names ("typosquatting") and we will take those package names down permanently.
