He raised the price higher than the cost of going to WIPO to deal with it. If he set the price to $1 or 2 million they likely would have paid it. $75 million is bonkers.
Eventually the precedent would just become ‘poor people’ fucking over everyone, including other ‘poor people’ just trying to start their own business. I get what you’re saying but allowing squatters to create entire catalogues of domains for the sake of sticking it to corporations is probably a shitty answer

He also set precedence. A few more cases like this can the cost of going to court becomes cheaper for everyone.
Yes, fuck poor people for trying to screw over corporations.
He bought the domain for $10000. Not sure what your definition of poor is, but in my opinion someone poor isn’t “investing” in expensive domain names.
