Your examples are correct.
The second example allows multiple clients to be controlled from a single application focus, without needing to bring each individual full game client to the front of your screen.
You can tile the windows in the first example, but you need to very precisely sequentially click through them in that exact order to execute orders on the clients. After one round of click-throughs, you need to spend several seconds/a minute re-layering each window in the right focus order in order to repeat this cycle again. This is simply unmanageable and useless outside of travelling around/non-active gameplay.
Going back to your second example, it allows all those clients to be managed without this hassle, and more actively and beyond what most players have access to do.

See this? This is the kind of **** that shouldn't be possible in EVE, it allows one player to control 11 Algos' in PVP simultaneously, allowing for outcomes that shouldn't be possible.
Scale this up to larger entities, you have players deploying a dozen dreads from one player using 3rd Party Client Management tools to control all of them far more efficiently than if they had to click through each of the clients one-by-one.
I've managed up to 4 clients simultaneously without 3rd party tools for Escalations and general EVE stuff (one hauling, links, pvp ship, something sitting idle) - it's hard to actively manage more than 2 clients at once using Windowed Mode.

I don't believe that CCP ever intended for a single player to control 11 accounts simultaneously in active PVP, try doing this kind of thing without ISBoxer or other tools that allow clients to be overlaid and pinned on top of each other in a way that allows interaction with each, without Windows adjusting forward focus/on top layering of the currently selected window.
You're being deliberately dense if you can't see that clear distinction between these things (using what they provide, and modifying the usage of their client through 3rd party apps), but you're even denser if you can't see that it's tied to a massive post about RMTing.

They're giving a heads up to people using ISBoxer to print ISK all day in whatever way they do, for RMTing purposes. After this heads up it's ban-town folks. The Stormtrooper dude with his 11 Algos isn't their target or focus, they don't really care about that guy, he's an anomaly. They care about those printing isk all day and want to have a rule to point to when they ban those accounts.
