The real reason for squatter's rights is to prevent rug-pull scenarios, where someone resides in a place for some period of time under good faith but themselves get scammed or otherwise exploited in the process.
This then runs into obvious problems when the police use it as an excuse to just not bother with short-term situations that obviously don't fall under actual squatter's rights precedents.
