You had log readers...that created graphical overlays to display real time game information on top of the game?

Of course not. I never said I did. You just apparently missed the usual meaning of a phrase like "this is pretty _____" and instead decided it means "this is exactly _____."

Devs: you're not supposed to have this functionality.
GINA users: okay well I'm going to use another program to have it anyway.
It's using a third party program in order to restore functionality what was specifically removed from the client by the devs, and then some. You can argue all day long about how you don't think that's "technically cheating" but you're still going against the spirit of the entire project.

You're on a roll with making up meanings for words, eh?
The staff never said they don't approve of real-time log parsing.
This wasn't cheating in classic any more than using voip, the prima strategy guide, or a cable modem. Just because a lot of people typed to talk, didn't have a strategy guide, and used dial up doesn't mean the other stuff were cheating. And today we have more refined and powerful versions of these things: discord, the wiki, high-speed internet. Just like we used to have log readers that few people used but that could function quite similar to GINA... and today we have GINA.
