A business opportunity being legal and profitable does not make it ethical.

My understanding is, the intention behind society's laws and social norms is for all legal and profitable businesses to serve the common good in some small way. What good do squatters do the world, in any way, shape, or form, whatsoever? The effect they have on the world is for good projects to be harder for people to use, by taking up all the good domains. That makes this a bug in our society, that I, at least, would appreciate being addressed.
