Yes, bots will most likely always find a way, but I think it's more about thwarting the casual users. If you could gps hack by simply installing an app more people would do it. By making it extremely tedious, the causal user won't be as inclined to do it since the time it takes to figure it out won't be worth it.
I don't condone Niantic's behavior, but I understand it.

I was banned for being in Japan, for example. One day out of the blue on my vacation, got the ToS violation notification which still hasn't been reversed, two weeks later.
