ISPs will cut off service entirely if a customer is behaving abusively.

No, they will cut off service entirely if the user's behavior threatens their network (usually legally).

As an example, ISP's don't drop spammers because they morally hate spam, they drop spammers because their mail servers will get blacklisted and make their customers hate them.

A fine distinction, but an important one.
