you're not getting banned from steam, you're generally getting banned from participating in anti cheat secured lobbies of a single game or a group of games.

single player experience is generally not affected.

having a 3 strike system before getting banned from multiplayer just means it's 66% cheaper for a cheater to get a new copy of the game.

this is also not new and has been the case for the current family sharing system as well.
