There are two counter examples to your points
Arma 3 and DayZ Stand-alone.
1. Bohemia built modding into the games. Australians wanted to ban DayZ for a marijuana mod. The shitstorm was minor. And the game was never banned.
Most servers that try to use… distasteful mods… tend to die a fairly fast death once the novelty wears off.
2. Central servers are not moderated. Instead they use BattleEye, which is just awful (2 week lead time to bans, if they even get detected).
Because of that terrible anti-cheat system, it has actually lead to thriving communities which are actively moderated. Where all those sorts of behaviours you describe are often an instant ban offence.
3. Active community moderation deals with this. Check out AnarchyHD. Or check out this twitch clip of StevESP getting banned on stream https://clips.twitch.tv/KnottyResourcefulBubbleteaBuddhaBar-QK6arRgrpALMM_zJ https://clips.twitch.tv/KnottyResourcefulBubbleteaBuddhaBar-...
4. No you can’t. You have to grow your user base. DayZ recently reached a new peak in simultaneous player population. Almost 10 years later. This isn’t the first time they’ve hit a new peak over the last year or two either.
