It is not BS. As I said, that is just how mobile hot spot IPs work. The issue is that websites don't have a reliable way to know if an IP is a home network or a mobile hot spot/VPN. So they just block them assuming the vandal will return on the same IP. This potential case is why permanent IP bans and large IP range bans are strongly discouraged. Even if they know it is a mobile hot spot, they still need to block the vandal. Getting blocked due to sharing an IP with a vandal is just one of the risks associated with using a mobile hot spot and/or VPN. If you are using those services, then that is just something you need to deal with.
