Respect is a bit too far for me. Accept, is more more style.

When you play in someone else's sandbox, you're going to have to deal with their rules. No one is guaranteed an audience.

Conversely, if someone makes their sandbox publicly available, they accept some risk that someone else in it may behave in a way that they don't like.

You can argue that Blizzard was well within their rights in punishing Blitzchung, but then Blizzard's audience is well within their rights to be upset with said punishment.

Actually, you don’t have to accept that. That’s what moderation is for.

Moderation is a method to manage the risk, if anything the existence of moderation indicates that platforms accept it to some extent.
