Apex Banned 73000 players ... really?

Theoretically, hardware bans (HWID bans) do exist, so why aren’t those being enforced more consistently? That would be one of the few actually effective ways to deal with repeat offenders. Right now it feels like banning accounts alone just isn’t enough. Not only do we have to deal with questionable matchmaking, but also with players who clearly return on fresh accounts. I literally just came out of a match where low-level accounts wiped our entire squad in seconds. I barely dealt 100 damage, while they shredded everyone, even though we had the high ground. At this point, it’s hard not to feel like the system isn’t addressing the real problem.
