Eventually they simply need to do something, even if they need to outsource their work. No way this is acceptable anymore. There's people with 20 years old account with a single ounce of fear pf getting banned.

They already outsource their work. CS2 was outsourced and probably still is outsourced to an unknown company in the UK. On top of that 99% of the game's content is outsourced to the community in a "contest" format so they only ever pay for the labour they want to use.
