Banning new Steam IDs on banned IPs seems too strict to me. Some ISP use CG-NAT or rotate IPs, meaning a single bad actor could harm many innocent players.

This is mentioned in the article, hence why they added a third method.

They added the third identifier to detect ban evasion by changing the Steam ID and the IP address.

They implemented some specific exceptions but generally recommended to not play on untrusted networks to avoid getting banned along cheaters in the same network.

That's my take from the article.
