I completely disagree. By having the discriminator randomly allocated it completely discourages discriminator squatting. 0000 or 0001 lose all desirability if they're nearly impossible to get.

gallium: There are vanity numbers other than 0000 and 0001. Like 0098 for my Windows 98 group.

gallium: people do it anyway, except instead they spam the api by deleting and remaking. there's thousands of possible combinations for literally every of many times that in short name possibilities... there'd only be a little bit of squatting either way for very specific things.
other platforms/games in the past have used solutions like having idle expiries (not in use or no activity) where they get re-rolled after a time, freeing up their prior number/name... or like discord where you can override it if you sustain your subscription (not my favourite method cuz it's not permanent).
also, 0000 and 0001 etc are just specific numbers that some people tend to overvalue, when there's numerous other interesting number combinations out there.
