I agree.
However, I think there are some things to takeaway from the last detection.
For starters, they remained largely undetected since Season 1. Any provider is going to be targeted the way that they were if they allow themselves to be big enough. In EO's case, they provide a superior product for substantially less than 99% of the market, which is why they achieved such a status within the community and therefore were targeted.
Next, consider how long it took EO to get as large as it did. Now, consider how many people left and won't return to their service for the very same reasons as you expressed. It's going to take some time to get back to the status and customer base that they had pre-ban, and with Cold War coming out soon, I don't see that happening until Cold War releases.
Let's also remember that Activision has known about EO since the beginning, and they just now took action against them after almost a year. I don't know the inner workings of EO, but if I had to guess, I'd say that Weather (their coder) most likely, completely rewrote the code.
Having used dozens of providers, the quality of almost all of them are no where near EO, and they charge twice as much. So, personally, I'll continue using them (unless other providers change their price structure to accurately reflect the quality of their product), but I completely understand those that are too afraid to.
