Go read the dev comment if you want, they never said people would be banned for it. Like I said in the post that you quoted, they specifically stated that if people continue to do it they will look into an alternative solution.

They know it was their mistake, but they also know that not many people are going to buy a $20 bracelet and sell it for 1.2 mil when RMT is selling 10 mil for the same price. There is hardly anybody selling them now that hype has died and they sell incredibly slow, hence the 1.2 million gil price. Nobody gets banned for buying gil from RMT either, that doesn't mean it's ok for you to do it.
