How is this its own article and not a single sentence on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting ?

It's in the first sentence?

> Slopsquatting is a type of cybersquatting.

I'm asking more how this meets the notability requirements for a separate Wikipedia article.

I'm all for having lots of small Wikipedia articles, but the past few years they've been tending toward combining small articles together. And this is more like a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia entry.

I think it’s much better like this. It is it’s own fascinating thing and not lost in a long general Wikipedia entry.
Right but why not a redirect to that one and a subsection?

I feel like this is going to fall under notability eventually

It needs to be a big thing on its own so security people can be onto something important.
