First of all, it doesn't matter what others use; you won't get banned for that.
What you had was a cooldown, not a VAC ban.
Regarding your GAME BAN:
Counter-Strike 2 game bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support.
What you want doesn't matter either; there's no one from support in the VAC forum, nor can they remove bans.

You are game banned, not VAC banned.

You cannot appeal a CS2 game ban.

CS2 game bans can be issued for, including but not exclusively:
* frequent irregular gameplay as detected by VACNet AI or by other means, this includes premade matchmaking with a cheater repeatedly or cheating committed by yourself,
* incessant griefing by verbal abuse, in-game physical abuse or other unsportsmanlike conduct,
* botting and automation,
* manipulation of matchmaker and rating,
* disruption of gameplay on the technical level (such as DDoS attacks or causing crashes)

CS2 game bans are both permanent and non-negotiable.
