The honest answer is that as long as players populate the servers, all is fine with AE/Respawn, and player counts are up.
Yes, AE could hardware/kernal ban players, and they would be banned as long as they are using the same machine, but doing so would remove at least 20K (likely WAY more) players, and AE stock prices would likely be affected, so that's not happening.
Meanwhile, AE/Respawn can brag about shutting down cheating accounts to save face with uninformed players while these people immediately set up a new account and continue cheating. Next time you're quickly killed while not inflicting the same damage, look at the death summary and see how many times it was done by a sub-level 20 "new" player with God-like skills.
In a perfect world, some enterprising attorney would start a class action suit to provide relief for the thousands of people who've spent money on this game, only to be deprived of the enjoyment of a fair match. I, for one, would gladly contribute.
