Often the domain hosts the email for the package. Control the domain and you can control the package. Control the package and you can ransomware or cryptomime quite a few computers as a criminal. Heck maybe if you are Russian you just wipe any computer with a non-russian IP.
It is funny. The opposite of what you said is true: computers with Russian ips were wiped (by OSS author?) but you are likely do not consider Russians to be human so it should ok in your book.
