>Also, family account?

My understanding is that Google banned all users that had been logged into that family device.

Why not ban the offending account only? Is there a logic i'm missing?
From Google's point of view, very little downstairs to banning those other accounts. And the upside is that they reduce their legal risk: "We automatically blocked the account that was generating the kiddie porn, as well as the other accounts that had been logged into that device."

It's probably as simple as that…

Yes, the logic you're missing is "protect the children"
