If "alignment" were just about crimes we wouldn't need a special word for it, we would just say "legal". Alignment is not just about crimes, it's about the AI behaving in a way that is very specifically tailored to the moral framework and practical needs of the creator. Alignment has always gone well beyond the minimum required by law.
And I don't think anyone is saying that a piece of software refusing to behave in a way that the creator doesn't want is a cyberpunk dystopia, they're saying that calling the user themselves misaligned is horrifying.

You aren't violating some anti-computer-misuse statute like DMCA. But Valve has every right to call the users of those scripts assholes who ruin the game for everyone and to ban them.
