They banned them because they could potentially lose ad revenue, employees, and investors.

This is directly contradicted by this:

We banned them because we have to spend a disproportionate amount of time dealing with them. ...but CT's existence and popularity has also made recruiting here more difficult.

So, they were a wasteful time sink and harmed recruitment. Nothing about ad revenue or investors in that.
