We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue

and it's a double slap to the face knowing that they KNOW it won't actually help against 3rd parties. So they know all this does is punish those of us tgat do follow the rules. it's so stupid.

Read the actual article and not the OP's inaccurate summary-by-reaction. They do not say that they "know it won't help", they say that they know the scammers will continue to attempt to get around it, as a step to saying they have processes in place to delete illegally-obtained items from the buyer's account.

It's understandable to be upset, but it's also important to be upset at what they actually did say and not somebody else's claim of what they said.
