It is not different from how the previous shared libraries worked. I guess it's there to stop cheaters from buying a single copy of the game and sharing it with throwaway accounts.

That sort of behaviour should be easy to track if it happens more than once though

Being able to evade a ban once is already a problem. Now you need to ban every cheater twice to really ban them.
