That would just increase the possible gains as well - while also making all the squatters with their existing portfolio all the much richer. Also makes domains harder to reach for common folks. Wins for squatters, loss for society, yay.

Would it? Squatters charge you the maximum they can, increasing the cost reduces the profitability, if you 10x the price of domains, you will see less squatters as a result.

I’ll also point out they trade in volume - they may run 9 romaine at a loss to successfully sell one, putting all in profit - if you increase the cost to them by a small amount, it decreases their profit substantially. Most Dotcom owners can probably afford $200/year for a domain.
