I probably wouldn't call it squatting, but it's something economically similar.

Yes.

If someone's using a highly-in-demand domain for a small website visited only by friends and one email address, then I see that as wasteful and icky. It's like having a /8 IP block because you registered in the early days of the internet, and using it for your home network of 5 computers. Or having a giant mansion in the middle of town where you live in a couple of rooms and leave the rest to rot. Or owning a bunch of historic paintings/cars/etc. that sit permanently in storage and are never used or seen. More "hoarding" than "squatting" I guess, but equally gross.

Near as I can tell, the domain isn't "highly-in-demand" in any meaningful way.

I think the whiners who carp about its current use are just crypto-jealous.

If people are jealous of the domain then it is ipso facto in demand.

I look forward to you reviewing your HN contributions in a decade or so.
