Now I want SE to remove hints from ranked matches even more than before. So people wouldn't use the addon to play the game for them.
I'm sorry, but this just sounds absurd. For every plugin controversy that happens, you can use google to find what it is they're using to cheat. It even acts like outrage marketing, the number of people who started cheating in Fall Guys skyrocketed after the video was posted on Reddit.
The developers of the ACRs that are a scourge on high-end content and market board don't have a Mahjong module. The two relevant githubs you find when you look up "FFXIV Mahjong Github" are a pre-alpha plugin that's completely incapable of doing anything due to modloader updates, and a datamine that has nothing to do with plugins.
Even the devs of the zoomhack and aoe marker hack haven't bothered to touch Mahjong because no-one cares about it.

Would you mind making some information on this supposed addon public? Because it sounds like you call everything you don't like a bot and are extrapolating the fact that most unranked players just press the ingame hint because Riichi is the hardest version of Mahjong for a newbie to pick up and FFXIV doesn't have a good tutorial other than the trial through fire of "just play against the NPC board here lol"
