tl;dr yes bots are run through standalone because there would be no reason to go through the hassle of running them through steam and also because no evidence shows they are on steam.
But yea you have no actual evidence of what you're saying about rmt and they've also never said steam is 75% of players iirc. I'm talking about empirical evidence you could deduce from looking at the player counts and fluctuations. PoE1 or 2 have never had any massive 1 day drops in steam players that would result from a ban wave and we know they do ban bots from conversations on cheat forums. Your schizo argument would be they never ban bots, so lets entertain that.
PoE1 and 2 have the same fluctuation in daily steam players as basically every other globally popular game, and nothing like confirmed botted games like Lost Ark or TF2. To say the concurrent player charts of PoE indicate botting would be the same as saying almost every game on steam is botted (which it is to an extent, every game has idling) but that isn't the argument you're making.
You don't have to reply, you have no rebuttal.

Why are MIGAtards so incompetent? Even dem DEI chairforce hires would have had busted those bunkers.
