Breaking the ToS. Is punishable. Doesn't matter if it isn't "hurting anybody."

By playing the game, you agree to the Terms of Service. If you break the Terms, you get punished. That's the line in the Sand.

Whether you may see it being "BS" or not is entirely irrelevant, because You Agree to Comply when you start. If you dislike being punished for breaking the rules you sign to uphold, then go elsewhere. Whether it's actually unfair and outright stupid, it doesn't matter. SE enforces it.

SE has given people multiple outs, essentially boiling down to "Don't show you're doing it and we won't be forced to take action." The streamers showed they were doing it, forcing SEs hand. Yes, this is not 100% and it has holes, yes there are times when SE accepted modded pictures in their picture contests. Human error and all. But if you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you cannot claim Innocence. Even the "use at your own risk" gives SE a defense that they don't catch all of them. While they are using that in the sense of "We don't know if this may be a virus or corrupt your files" it's also a "if you use this, you are at risk of being banned." Take. The damn. Hint.

Your constant bickering over the same topic when so many people have given you the answer that you seemingly choose to ignore is not on us. That's a -you- problem.

You don't like being punished for breaking the rules? Go play something else. You won't get away with it here.
