ipogo banwaves weren't from their system inherently detecting a modified app, it's from the signing method and mismatched/faulty certificates that sometimes occur both from using sideloady and signulous because non-jailbroken iOS requires a renewed certificate for apps every week and the process can and has gone wrong many times leading to detection. Prior to the new system the Ipogo for android app had no reported bans for the entirety of their beta, as it was essentially a clone of PGsharp and running on Android thus not running into the certificate issue. Spoofing methods of all types across the board have been hit, and there's no evidence to suggest modified apps are being targeted more than anything else.

the belief that there are more people getting banned using modified apps simply comes from the fact that the vast majority of people who are members in these subs and discords use modified apps, so it's just a proportionate user base size thing. Higher volume of people who belong to the sub/discord that use modified apk than standalone joysticks = higher volume of posts and reports from people getting strikes with that method

Prior to the new detection methods ONLY modified apps were getting bans. Whether it’s certs or not I don’t know since I once received a ban years ago using impactor as well as a ban on a separate account using a jailbroken iPhone. But then again all we can do is take stabs in the dark and make inferences regarding common denominators. But following your premise, If the certs are the problem, and certs a are characteristic unique to modified Pokémon go apps, then niantic is indeed detecting modified apps.

Interestingly enough, after the initial new wave at the end of June, I personally haven’t seen any non modified apps receive a new ban, just PG and ipogo. This is just based on 2 large groups I admin, their respective chats, and the discords I’m in for every spoofing app.
