In the times when my coworkers don't want to get marriott pts, I pay for the room with my CC and have them reimburse me so I can get the points (up to 3 total rooms). I don't see how this is violating the T&Cs.
Doesn't matter if there are multiple people in the room. What matters is that if you use your # that you are in that room. Arrival and departure times don't matter.
The whole point here is that just like other air carriers and chains, Marriott is cracking down on the gamers. These are people who may spend money at Marriott, but ultimately are money losers.
So, Marriott fires them.
