I don't mind cheaters getting their asses kicked. Let them lose real money. If you accidentally get banned, that's a different story though.

And it's just a game that's not playable anymore, not the whole Steam account, isn't it?

The entire Steam account is tainted: that's the issue.

Some random commercial third party can make an accusation and damage the value of thousands of games on a lark.

Meanwhile, any determined cheater just bought another copy of the game on an account dedicated solely to that task. This person suffers no extended consequence.
