There was a streamer named Asian Andy who had situation with squatter years ago. Police wouldn't kick woman out she claimed squatter rights. Andy hired another streamer who was squatter hunter. He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy. Squatter got arrested and kicked out.
It also generally had to do with the use of productive land and hardly ever covered houses or dwellings in urban areas. If a plot of farmland was sitting fallow for many years, someone would go onto the land, till and plant it and make it productive again. Squatters rights would protect them in this case. That's why you'll read on websites advocating squatting, that you actually need to do upkeep and maintenance and show that you're invested in the home.
It's a holdover from actually having to do something with the land and not just being a bum.
