Take it like this, if you get banned, you can finally relax, spend more time with family etc. 😁 Well, unless you are one of those people who have also spent hundreds to thousands of dollars, euros, pounds, what have you on the game.

And I doubt there is a law that has been broken, so it isn't illegal. It is however a breach of contract, and I seriously doubt that any independent arbiter or civil court would find in your favor if you tried to sue.

The best that anyone could hope for is that if you got banned and did do IAPs, that the agreement would either refund your purchases if the ban is left to stand, or you get to keep your assets at the end of the suspension period, as the message I saw on YouTube from there support was saying that they would have to erase their progress to start restart the game at the end of the suspension. Imho, glitches and bugs within the game aren't anything serious, let alone ban worthy. Just patch it and move on if one can be bothered. However, cheaters that use 3rd party software to deliberately enhance their stats or whatever deserve bans. But, it's FM that will decide ultimately if it's wrong or not. Like I said before, their response will be directly correlated to the impact on their revenue potential.

Glitches and bugs that have a minimal negative impact and/or a possible net positive impact will always get overlooked, as it costs too much to fix or to police.

A bug that could cause significant negative impact to revenue is going to get significant and harsh attention. And the remedies are in the Terms of Service that we agree to before we start the game (just after the lap of Laguna Seca in a Porsche).
