What is the reason of Blizzard not banning dumb bots?

Let me explain the title. I especially used dumb bot term because I know there are more sophisticated bots.
But some players are using really the bottom of the barrel bots that follows same location waypoints with milimeter accuracy and precise timing, it sticks like a sore thumb in 2024. Imagine not randomizing waypoints in your bot…

Anyways, people are using these bots, I report them, those bots continue 8 hour botting. I know Blizzard tries to hide how they found out sophisticated bots, so they let them play until the next big banwave. What is the reason they are not banning simpleton bots instantly? Put a software tracker on them, if they follow same coordinates more than once(it is extremely unlikely that they can move between same waypoints that precisely) ban them.

Because they fired all the game masters in 2019 to make more money. Nobody checks blizzard@hacks email ever.
The Microsoft aquisition was our chance to change, at least for indian low skilled something, but its not the case as we see.

Current bliizard-activision support that replaced game gamemasters do not even have access to the game. All they can do is to add some transfer token or to deal with payment related issues, because… you know, money.

Because it requires any kind of effort. Why you would put an effort if you may just ignore a problem without much consequenses?
They are doing some ban waves like twice a year or something just to pretend fighting with bots.

There are like 100 ways to detect bots, but that requires some people working on it. Means requires some imvestment.
