The implication is that Riot only stands to gain a small amount of money if they decide to actually start a botnet using their customers' machines, with a lot of risk of lawsuit/bad PR if they do so; and that cheap cheat makers, due to their already-shady business and anonymity, are more likely to start selling botnet access on the side to make extra cash.

The risk isn't that Riot uses the module maliciously. The risk is that the module contains a security vulnerability, and that someone else then uses it maliciously.

Good cheats are expensive (like, often more than $100 per month) Cheat makers have way higher per-user revenues than Riot.
