After being reported, a GM most likely observed the person (Who has openly admitted to using mouse software to automate their crafting (AKA BOTTING)) and decided that a permanent ban was in order.

That is all there is to it.

We know Square enix has no way to detect automation software, or else all those people afk crafting in their houses all day with Autocrafters would have been banned back in heavensward when it first started getting out of control.
(And yes, many people still do it today and have never been banned in all the years of automating it).

The only explanation is that the OP was reported and a GM caught them in the act.
