I'm banned from using Tor to edit Wikipedia as well. I'm also banned
from vandalising Wikipedia, from uploading copyrighted images without
stating the source, from reverting an article more than 3 times in 24
hours, etc, etc, etc. Should I get treated as a banned user?

You are not banned. There is nothing stopping you editing Wikipedia.
You simply choose not to. It's exactly the same as if you were a
member of a religion which refuses to use computers. You wouldn't be
able to edit Wikipedia then, either, but that would be entirely your
own doing.
