I wonder when companies will move to more adversarial tactics like banning accounts to try and stay ahead in the jailbreak arms race. We’ve seen similar tactics for gaming anti-cheat purposes for quite some time. Companies like Tesla have threatened to disable services to discourage reverse engineering and software modification.

Companies do ban hackers [0]. For whatever reason it's never clear what triggers the bans however. It does seem likely bans only are used for those who go online, or submit spurious data to the services. Still the reverse engineers, by and large, do not go online. If they update it's from a pre-downloaded firmware. So there is not much to ban.
