I see your point why it's not as hurtful as it could be. In practice, 99% of the time it isn't. I am of the opinion, however, that there's time-tested tried and true more classic modding and adminning solutions, that are just as effective, that do not take significantly more effort either. And that's the thing, except for the few rare cases I've outlined (IMO so rare that it's cost effective to just special-case it in code, rather than making an easy admin button for it), it's just not necessary to waste people's time like that. One other aspect in which it actually performs worse: if you get banned, you get noticed. so you know you did something wrong. and you can work to fix this. the amount of people for which this "slap on the wrists" actually works, is actually a lot larger than the amount of sociopaths that will never ever learn and actually require hellbanning and other tricks to get rid of.
