I'm fairly confident that developers already do this. When the "ban hammer" comes down it is probably after analysing data trends for players.

Yeah, they don't ban immediately. They collate a huge amount of data and then do it in waves.

That way cheaters know what software got them banned, but not the exact behaviour that gave it away.
