They don't have to benefit anyone, and this isn't an exploit. If they found a way to break a rule or a basic system function? That would be an exploit. This was just people playing the game how they wanted to.
They own nothing. Square-Enix are the actual intellectual owners of the game and every character in said game. They reserve the right to simply do what they want. The response the author wrote and how they worded it only paints them as the snotty people they are. But then I think Risu here may have nailed it here with S-E's own terms of service.

It looks like they are disrupting the experience of a lot of other players hoarding a limited commodity.
Sad thing is the disruption comes with the exploit and oversight from Square Enix - therefore it DOES fall onto Square Enix to fix this mess that THEY created. They (Being S-E) have the right AND the obligation to correct this and fix the quality of life for players who are left out not being able to enjoy certain mechanics that are offered because several greedy people (of all kinds!) exploited that mistake. Butter it up all you want, Venjamin, but hard work or not, their greed is no different from others who exploit the system for their own gains.
