Hardware bans are easy to avoid. you can spoof your PC components by masking them with a third party application.

I understand, but you are probably only referring to changing the MAC address. I completely agree with that. However, I am talking about the complete system fingerprint. This is used, for example, by browsers and, in particular, Windows OEM licenses. If it were as simple as you say, it would be possible, for example, to easily and without restriction transfer Windows OEM licenses to new hardware. On the other hand, the proposed measure would make more sense than passivity or revoking the game key.
The devs discuss this and why they require TPM, which prevents the ability to spoof, as TPM is a dedicated chip on the motherboard.
