Unless I've misunderstood; that's exactly why I asked the question in my original comment. I'll explain my / the reasoning:

I own a game on a Steam account (A) and want to hack (and evade bans) using another Steam account (B).

I share my library/game from account (A) to account (B) then hack on account B and only account B gets banned... What's to then stop me from making Steam account C, D, E, F... etc? Absolutely nothing. Hence the double ban.

I stress that if you do share a game / your Steam library with others you trust them explicitly.

Restrict the number of accounts that can join that family group. And/or remove the ability to share the library from the main account for repeated offenses.

Or require multiple family members accounts to have to cheat before the owner account is banned.

stop sharing your library with strangers and kick your brother's ass when he gets you banned
