> That's the whole point behind bans, is it not?

No, it may be one point behind imposing bans but it is not the whole (only) point. People can also learn from watching other's make mistakes. Bans communicate to people other than the person getting banned that something is unacceptable.

In this case it seems to communicate that "but it is not a person it's a bot" will not be a srong enough reason to break their rules and escape a ban.
