Squatting has an intention behind it. You don't call ancient coin collectors deplorable squatters because they are taking limited stock off the market.

But they're not collecting or w/e, they're searching and buying for the purpose of reselling. Which.. is squatting, no?
No they're collecting interesting domains, and then they said it got out of hand during the pandemic, and now theyre selling their collection.
It's squatting if you're not using the domain name for anything other than reselling it.
Furthermore, even adding little icons to hint as to what the domain might be used for. I think it's a cool little idea.
