Otherwise many people would have a dark alter ego account.
Mine are all the same.
Make a new account if you wanna buy something and don't get in trouble again.
"B. Subscriptions; Content and Services
As a Subscriber you may obtain access to certain services, software and content available to Subscribers. The Steam client software and any other software, content, and updates you download or access via Steam, including but not limited to Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services”; the rights to access and/or use any Contents and Services accessible through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions.""
...
"Valve hereby grants, and you accept, a non-exclusive license and right, to use the Content and Services for your personal, non-commercial use"
...
"You are entitled to use the Content and Services for your own personal use, but you are not entitled to ... exploit the Content and Services or any of its parts for any commercial purpose"
...
"C. Termination by Valve
Valve may cancel your Account or any particular Subscription(s) at any time in the event that (a) Valve ceases providing such Subscriptions to similarly situated Subscribers generally, or (b) you breach any terms of this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). In the event that your Account or a particular Subscription is terminated or cancelled by Valve for a violation of this Agreement or improper or illegal activity, no refund, including of any Subscription fees or of any unused funds in your Steam Wallet, will be granted."

If I am correctly interpreting this, then your accounts could have easily been terminated entirely. You were lucky. Instead they were simply restricted.
If some of your accounts were never used for commercial purposes, then you might have a case for getting those specfifc accounts unrestricted. I'm not seeing anything in the agreement that states valve may terminate any or all of your accounts or subscriptions over a violation which involves only one or a few of them and not all of them. If anyone else finds something like that, then do feel free to correct me.
However, I would also like to note that there is a similar scenario which is regularly occuring... VAC bans are issued for multiple accounts when only one of them was used for cheating. This can happen when multiple accounts are linked to the same phone and one of them is caught using cheats. In that case, all accounts linked to that phone will recieve the same ban.
Which in case you have several adapts to each of them.
"I was wearing a tiger mask when i did it. Do you see me wearing a tiger mask now, officer?"
So you indeed did this for "commercial purposes".
You are not allowed to sell, transfer, buy or "rent" Steam Accounts.
Since this is a clear violation of the SSA, Valve may terminate all other accounts made by you.
