It's not as if you can't gather from the locations because they disappear due to them gathering from there.
I have a couple of reasons.

They take up space where no one is actually playing.
They are soulbinding gear, which they sell the material and make money before people that actually play. Money goes to them, they sell the money to people.
They are gathering items, which they sell all of it and undercut everyone. This not only reduces the price for people that actually farm themselves, but they also make money and sell it to people.
They are also a nuisance. People that are actually playing the game sometimes can't actually farm stuff because a bot is in that same spot for hours on end.
Square Enix needs to stop waiting till the next patch to do things about these guys.
