And yes they should due to it creates an unfair advantage against Console users.
The day they ever break ACT to a point where it can't get around their anti-"cheat" is the day their raid scene dies. And they know that. Which is one of the reasons they're never going to touch parsers but forever keep them in a grey area. It's simply far too beneficial for them.

If you're primarily referring to triggers and such. Several of the well known programs can get around the battle log if they ever needed to. The only way you're breaking add-ons is through anti-cheat software everyone will be forced to download. Which creates its own problem, and may not even work. Guild Wars 2 tried that when mods started becoming more prevalent. People got around it within a week. Much like ACT, Square simply benefits too much from the sheer number of people using mods nowadays. Losing ten of thousands of subs just to for the sake of purity isn't something they'll want to do.
