Since permabanning someone takes effort and just, you know, avoiding a site doesn't, I'd say yes. There's just not much of an argument to having to perm someone who could just not log in. If that isn't something one can do, then they must not really want to leave the site.

That said, maybe in the future The Mods and Admins could agree on adding a 'Delete Profile' feature.

how fucking hard is it to click a few buttons to permaban someone versus say somebody having an addiction and telling them "just dont visit the site lol"

10/10 logic 🙃

yeah and im sure the guy attempting to quit smoking for the 8th time and failing doesnt want to quit smoking does he

But permabanning an account doesn't mean that the user can't visit the site any longer. They just can't post with their original account.
The only way to "get clean" would indeed be to just avoid the site.
Other than that they could create a new alt account, but then the ban record of the old account is gone, so mods might have to ban the new alt account and de-ban the old account or leave a message that the user used to own another account.
And since requested permabans can be lifted again if the user wants to, it's definitely more work for mods.
