That sounds incredibly easy to enforce, why didn't they?

Because people will do the work for them, so why enforce their TOS when they can just say YMMV and have absolutely zero liability if someone's extension sells your corporate code to the dark web

You can still have zero liability with a simple automated check. A theme is just JSON, so if it's in the theme category, run it through a JSON parser.

That would take a bad developer a day to do.
