Spoofing myth debunked

I have been working as a software engineer for the past 9 years, specialized in mobile applications. I can assure you that it is fairly easy to write code and detect spoofers/bots in MANY WAYS. For example, you can check the frequency of the dynamic IP address assignments and make a conclusion. Or even a simple machine learning algorithm which is 3 lines of code in Python can do the job with over 90% accuracy.

Now let's talk business. What a logical person can conclude from this fact? Maybe I am more clever as a programmer than the whole Niantic workforce? OR that Niantic actually WANTS SPOOFERS? IMO, they help the game survive and they actually make a ton of money from them. Don't get me wrong, I don't say that spoofers are more than the actual players. I just say the truth, which is that Niantic is aware of the situation. My 2c
