> Banning blatant aimbots is just a pure statistics thing.

So you have two choices here. You either ban the best players or the aim bots just behave with a success rate close to the best players.

If you can't distinguish between cheaters and the best players statistically, can the regular players tell the difference? Does it matter at all then?

And when I'm talking about statistics here, I'm not referring to the kill/death ratio, but rather all input data received from a cheater.

If a player consistently has a sub 100ms response time, it is a bot. There are plenty such values to be found that have clear superhuman markers (100ms on average is already realistically too low, so I'm being mild), and you can use those to detect cheaters.

So, if you allow bots that behave exactly like humans, then what's so bad about that?
