They allowed mods, people got used to playing with them, and now to make challenging content they have to consider them or the content they create will be too easy.
SE isn't going to start ramping up raid difficulty because some members of the raiding community choose to use third-party tool. Besides, the zoom thing and Cactbot, the two most egregious raiding third-party tools, still can't play the game for you. Someone that sucks is still going to suck while using third-party tools, and someone that doesn't suck will continue not sucking regardless of whether or not they are using third-party tools. I don't personally support the use of crap like Cactbot, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend like it's some kind of awful plague upon the game. It's a personal choice players can make, nothing more.
