but when a group of very experienced high skill players with impeccable reputation like luvnest, devm etc. come to the conclusion that they are not sure if he hacked, then dont ban him.
if they are sure that he did, ban him.
its as easy as that.

I agree with your statement.
The problem however is at what point there is "no reasonable doubt" that a player cheated.
1. How many high level players do you have to ask to have a solid basis?
2. And how many of them (what percentage) have to agree that the person cheated? Or do they even have to come to their conclusion in unison.
II.
From what I can gather more than 20 respected community members were asked. That's a big enough sample size
in my opinion.
And it seems most of those members came to the same conclusion.
In my opinion we don't need an unanimous decision for that since that would render the whole process useless (someone is always going to be unsure). We aren't in criminal court here.

Now put yourself into A_Es shoes.
Relic isn't really capable of handeling the issue.
The integrity of your tournaments is at risk.
You gather/ provide evidence.
You ask a big sample size of the community to give their opinion.
The opinion is (mostly) clear.
And now you either have to act or risk that your tournaments might be compromised.
I wouldn't blame A_E for anything.
