This explanation is marvelously vague.

My hunch is that they just don't want to deal with the complaints and
legal & administrative overhead -it's more cost-effective just to cut
you off. When I first set up Tor some years ago I briefly ran it as an
exit node, having sent an explanatory e-mail to my ISP, but I very
quickly learned that once they receive a DMCA notice they cut you off at
the knees, whereupon you're dealing with "help" desk morons working from
a very strict script. Best to run an exit node from a corporate set-up
with the legal boilerplate already in place.
