As stated, it undermines the rules of the forums and it pretty much tells SE there's no point to enforcing their rules if they just unban people. You unban one person you have to unban everyone or there will be problems.

"Hey SE unbanned this person, I may have been a gigantic troll that posted nothing but porn gifs but why am I not unbanned?"

"Heeeeey yeah, I called this guy an idiot and threw around racial slurs to enforce my argument..unban me plz."

If SE doesn't unban them, they not only undermined their own rules they're being hypocritical to the situation. So it "hurts" no one, but it merely undermines what happens when you break rules.
