I understand your concern, but we're not banning entire VPNs, just certain IP addresses that happen to be on VPNs. We only block those addresses because if we don't, one person can make 100,000 requests per second and take the website down, and those particular IP addresses have displayed that type of behavior already according to connection logs.
