Those numbers don't tell you the amount of fresh accounts that got banned. And most of those will be RMT. So there's only a small amount of real player accounts, 99.9% of whom got caught buying gil, using 3rd party tools or exploits. (The remainder is from players getting slapped by GMs not bothering to investigate player conflicts or GMs oblivous to the rules. Good luck trying to contact SE about that though... )
