I think this is akin to saying nytimes.com buying nyt.com and redirecting it to nytimes.com is domain squatting.

Someone else already has 'nyt.com' ('rg'), GP is saying (not saying I agree) 'nytimes.com' ('ripgrep') behaviour encourages other someone elses to do that sort of squatting, where they don't own the thing that is clearly intended.

Fair. "I think this is akin to saying nytimes.com buying nyt.com and redirecting it to nytimes.com encourages domain squatting."
