So why would anyone make a package like that?

In the article they hypothesize that the creation of the package may have been a typo or another form of accident.

Since the content suggests it was generated by a script, there may have been an error in the input to the script or in the script itself.

Maybe, but the project does have an open issue created and edited multiple times by the developer

This is normal troll stuff, I would guess. It's like claiming website URLs from known mistypers or something. Someone thinks it's funny.
And it is version 0.0.1 - how will it look when it reaches version 1.0.0?
