I'm not sure why they can't just issue a cease and desist order when most of the said programs are paid services.
SE has been pretty aggressive about enforcing copyright infringement and other illegal practices when it comes to their properties.
More often than not, the bot companies and companies that create botting programs operate out of countries where cease and desist letters would do nothing beyond providing a piece of paper to instantly throw in the recycle bin. Lots of the countries they operate in just genuinely don't care, or in some cases, might even be profiting off of such things to the point of attempting legal action against the companies directly is basically pointless. Its infinitely easier for Square to target people infringing their copyright or illegal practices when they do it within the confines of a country that has actually good legal systems.
