To my eyes its just the way they have always been acting, they're just used to it, and with money from skins and such, they know they have an important fanbase which will always follow the game and pro scene no matter what.
I love CS, I follow the pro scene, the several actors (outside the players) working to make it look as amazing as possible, but I've honestly lost respect and faith in Valve for quite a good time, and I think a lot of players, casual or try-harder, have been too.
As for iBP, we don't know what will happen in the next months or years, might just be a matter of time. Also a clarification, it was the ESL's decision to unban KQLY, not Valve's one.
