Warning is there so they can't be held responsible IF in-case anything happens to you by the use of it.I've used those multiplayer cracks in the past. The thing is they usually come with a warning such as "do not use it with your main account". Just because you didn't get banned doesn't mean you won't get banned.
Suggestion to use an alt acc is for people that are paranoid, who absolutely don't want to take even a minuscule amount of risk but it is also a good practice. I personally don't care enough to isolate pirated games on alt acc though.
There are risks in a lot of things, even modding a singleplayer game could give them enough justification to remove your license or ban you.Risk is always there and it is all up to valve to ban users who use these or not. One day they could decide to flip a switch on steam(figuratively speaking) and ban thousands, maybe millions of accounts that used pirated games.
Why take the risk? This is what I don't understand.
But it's extremely unlikely that Valve would want to risk losing so many of their customers by banning pirates as many pirates still make legitimate purchases on Steam.
They're also the same company who said "One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue." so, chances of them banning pirates(which doesn't even benefit them at all) over cracked singleplayer/multiplayer games is as high as me getting married one day which is close to non-existent.
