Well, let’s put it like this.
About OFFICIAL SERVERS:
Mostly the problem lays in performance issues, which are caused not that much by building pieces and their count, but by placeables which cause glitches ant both provider and players side. 3k of foundations does not seem that much, but in ToS you can read that useless builds also break the rules. So if you just built big square base full of useless stuff and placeables which worsen the performace for everyone with no purpose, it does not matter if it was blocking some spawn or node spots or poi.
One of my bases also got dev wiped a week ago. It was at place where nothing was blocked, it was accessible to anyone, but imo it was simply too wide and there were many torches around the base. Also I have decent PC, some people maybe don’t have to have it and those placeables and torches around the walls could make some mess. It also was not “foundation big” base. I get it and have no problem with this.
If you want to play and build against ToS, play on dedicated or private server, or play SP. I would also like more strictly given rules about building (max found. size, etc), but there are some contras going around this as well in possible future - like troll people building mega-long walls around the map and then claiming they did not break the rules, because they did not go over max. foundation size, etc.
