I haven't ever bought nx from players, but it's only because I haven't either found the money or a trusty seller.
I don't agree that Nexon loses money due to nx sellers. If this would be the case, why do you think they would introduce things like MTS and Cash Trade? There's plenty of maplers that can't or don't want to buy nx. They just won't. With the ability to buy with mesos, they can milk money out of the nonpaying playerbase indirectly. They will pay with their time and effort (mesos) and the seller will gain mesos. Nexon benefits because the nxkids have a new reason to buy nx: easy mesos. Nx:meso rate will change based on supply and demand, and nowadays you can gain significant profit in mesos with 20 bucks. Nx transactions also make people choose buying nx for mesos over buying mesos from mesofarmers, which profits nexon in no way and supports botting and other illegit activity in game.
I think that everyone who read the ToS (unfortunately many don't) noticed the mention of buying and selling nx. I would argue that this is there simply, like in most other similar games, for legal reasons. It will protect Nexon from legal action incase some kid loses Nx to a scammer in game.
They need clear evidence to ban for hacking (false auto bans are another story) and they have stated this several times. They have no infallible way to prove something the nature of buying nx nor do they have the resources to do so. They might not even want to, considering the benefits I noted above.
And generally, I know this line is old but "nearly no one is legit going by the ToS".
Please reconsider if you have ever broken ie. the following:
List goes on but you should get the point.
I don't see why they couldn't do it. With Tot's know how the amount of "B>/S>Nx smegas " is numerous. And that's just one instance... If they can eavesdrop buddy/guild/alliance chat it would be impossible not to find someone doing it, every guild I've joined since BB always has someone B> or S> Nx. It's against the ToS anyway, I don't see why they wouldn't.
Your "no one is legit" point is not only wrong but irrelevant. First, I've seen plenty of bans/actions against players for breaking any of those rules in the small list you posted. I doubt you haven't. GMs not taking actions often doesn't mean it's ok to break those rules. And that's why it's irrelevant.
