Lets face it, the market/players want bots

Dude you're the ONLY ONE talking constantly about that. It seems like you're either too lazy, burned out, not good enough or simply not interested in the game to play it manually.

[...]and people will find other ways to bot without needing any token.

Not if there are functioning measures against bots, and they are out there.

How would any bot user feel safe in investing in the game more if at anytime in the future there could be some kind of compete bot ban or more anti bot measures added.

It's quite ironic that you talk about investing in the game when in fact you do not want to invest the only resource every player should have to put in, the most basic resource thats out there and that everyone shares evenly: Time
It doesn't matter if people run 20 alt accounts, they obviously should get more rewards than people with 1 or 2 accounts cause they invested way more resources (time) into the game.
If you don't find the time to handle 20 alts, you shouldn't have that many and rather focus on 1-2 accounts.
Bot users shouldn't feel safe at all. Bots are not allowed in any competitive game, especially in card games which brings us to your last point:

Especially after the team has said they are bot agnostic for 2 years.

They said that yes, but with time things change. Bots change and so do opinions, it's just how it is.
If you invested in the game only to run bots cause in the past the team said they're not against it, that's on you. Maybe it's time to rethink about your investment strategy. In your eyes this might be only an investment where you get some quick gains but for a lot of players it is what this whole thing is about,
a game.

And how long before the calls and proposals come to remove bots completely from the system.

Let's hope that'll be as soon as possible.

FYI: I run a bot on my alt aswell but I'd happily waive extra gains if I'm too lazy or do not find the time to play.
