Do we have any real proof they are actually a thing to begin with? Call me skeptical here.

I just want to update with a little bit of information based on my history in the past couple days.
If you haven't already seen my post about it here in your thread and my own information seeking thread; I was banned at the beginning of this last wipe, bought a new account; banned within minutes. Fast forward and I bought a 3rd account, hoping that ban was temporary.
I played fine without cheats or hacks for 7 days before ultimately getting the black screen disconnection and banned email. (Seems delayed)
I have since used Revo Uninstall to delete BSG AND Tarkov with trace files, changed volume serials on my drives, and even completely system reformatted.
Logged into a friends account with a freshly wiped PC and only 1 drive connected. Didn't even make it out of my first raid before I was banned again.
So contrary to my previous post and information:
YES HWID BANS ARE IN FACT A REAL THING AND THIS IS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I can give you any information you seek regarding the topic and tell you everything I know and have done before ultimately resetting my PC to factory defaults and trying again with the same result.
I think it might be time for me to start looking into a spoofer if I ever want to play again....
Update:
I went to local Best Buy and purchased a $17 SSD.
I've unplugged every drive that WAS connected, installed the new drive, installed windows without activation, and bought a new EFT account.
I have since played 4+ hours.
