Because the issue isn't that they were banned, it's that Microsoft will sell them another 360 even if they broke their original T.O.S. It's a very shoddy business practice with online accounts (even in online games like WoW). They don't care if you cheat, they'll make more money off of you when you eventually are forced to either resubscribe or quit (or in this case, buy another console). And more specifically, they waited until a major release (when many of the modders very well may have purchased a legitimate copy of the game already) and then banned people.
I agree that the modders shouldn't have done what they did in the first place. But I think allowing them back on the network with a $200 down payment is a little absurd. Particularly when they use something like the release of a highly anticipated game to encourage it.
