It's less that they're banned and more that they just moved on. Capaldi was a really good Doctor, but that only goes so far with companions like Clara and "Bill". They were already losing ground back then and viewing numbers readily back that up. Then they went with Chibnall and anyone who stuck around after the first season* of Whittaker was gone by the end of her second. They stopped watching. They moved on. Because it was clear that the show didn't respect them as fans, so why should they keep watching something that they weren't enjoying?
*Reminder that Whittaker's first season includes: Her pilot episode which was okay at best, an anti-knife PSA mid-episode, racism but now it's time racism, Muh Trump, and a pregnant man. All in that order. As the first 5 episodes. And they wonder why people turned it off? Why they stopped watching? It's clear they don't want fans to watch the show. So we stopped watching.
Fans made their opinion known, it was ignored, so the fans ignored the show in return. It's that simple.
Yeah, many of us knew Jodie Whittaker was the end when she went on about feminism in her opening at being chosen to play the Doctor. Instead of talking about how much she cared about the character and series.
I'll even be nice about that, and say that an actor doesn't need to be a fan of a role that they're going for. Doesn't always need to be like that for an actor to do a good job (though I think it certainly helps).
What is the much clearer issue is the fact that the role wasn't just about a successful and interesting character, it's that it was a vehicle, a carrier, to further her ideology first and foremost.
An actor doesn't necessarily need to be an enthusiast about what they're acting (though it certainly helps), but if they're using the roles they get as a means to an end? That shit is cancer no matter what their cause might be.

Whittaker also mentioned that previous Dr Who was the white make gaze
