Zero added value while getting a money inflow ticks my box for immoral.

Don’t forget parasitic.

A lot of the value of these domains stems from the popularity of sites they may have been attached to in the past, or search terms that relate to them.

So these people are literally making money off of the back of others’ work whilst providing no benefit themselves, probably not that much even to their advertisers.

Such squatting sites are, at best, an annoyance to web users as well.
