Not really. It's just that most western people read it as such. As far as I remember, what was said regarding win trading in TT tournaments was, slightly paraphrased: "This isn't against the ToS, so it's not a bannable offense, but please don't do this." (Emphasis mine.)
Unfortunately, SE's expectation that people respect their wishes is not as valid in our western cultures as it is in theirs =/

(Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in Japanese culture, so if anyone is and disagrees with my interpretation, please say so. Still, I'd argue that saying 'please don't do this' is more or less the opposite of 'this is okay to do'.)
