They can ban anyone they like for any reason they like, this is the overwhelming Elf consensus.
But somehow we must pretend bans for violating phoney-baloney make-believe policy are superior in fairness.
The cruelty is the point.

Another framework is the economic landscape of the law of supply and demand. If the market is monopolized then it is supplier friendly. The rules are set by the supplier. On the other hand if the market is in a state of perfect competition then it is consumer friendly. The rules are set by where the consumers go.
Typically most markets exist somewhere in between that spectrum of monopoly and perfect competition. If a market with more than one supplier drifts toward perfect competition then the rule sets of each supplier become one of the differentiating factors from which consumers decide which supplier to get their goods from. If there are several suppliers offering similar products then the culture that goes along with the product becomes one of the features and/or bugs of that particular product line. The consumer ultimately decides which feature set they are looking for amongst similar product lines offered by different suppliers.
