Seems like that’s only for permanent bans. I can’t see anything other than punishment/rehabilitation as the goal for a short term ban. Maybe I’m not thinking it through, but a short term ban doesn’t seem focused on just removing TOS violating material.

A short term ban is a cooldown period. They will give you another chance in case bad behavior was a mistake, but human nature is such that content produced immediately after a warning / very short ban is likely to be low quality “you can’t tell me what to do” crap.

I’ve got no evidence, but I would like to believe that Twitch has experimented with ban lengths and found 14 days to be enough to reduce TOS-violating content but not so much that it reduces total content.
