Because the Atheon cheese was exploiting the mechanics of the game, not manipulating Bungie's network.
When the party leader dashboards out or pulls his/her ethernet cable for the Crota cheese, it's disrupting network traffic on Bungie's servers in order to freeze the boss. That's expressly listed as a bannable offense in the T&C for both Bungie and Playstation.

So under that logic, when I repeatedly get bass and weasel DC errors (usually at the end of a mission/strike, like yesterday after an hour of attempting to solo the thorn bounty) can I ban Bungie? Unless they plan on banning at least 1/3 of their player base, I highly doubt it'll happen. Even players I've beaten it with legitimately have cheesed it, so I REALLY doubt any bans will drop.

Might as well shut the servers off for a week then since I'd imagine roughly 1/3-1/2 of the player base either has done it personally or been involved in a group that does it. In that case, how do you decide who gets banned? Is it the whole raid team? Just the player who DC'd? What if I was host and had a power outage and it was just a bad coincidence would I be liable for ban? The logic doesn't hold up and if they enforce it, I foresee a lot of people who are fed up as it is with the problems on Bungie's end just dropping it completely.
