A lengthy ban sends a message to others who are doing this too. If the ICC is going to make an effort to clean this up, making an example of people who get caught red-handed is a good way to start.
They should have done it earlier. They never did this to Michael Atherton, Sachin, Waqar Younis, Dravid, Marcus Trescothick, Broad, Anderson, du Plessis and 'The Master of Ball Tampering' Afridi (He got hungry and ate the ball). So, it seems unfair now.
Change has to start somewhere.
But why here?
If you don't start when someone is caught on live TV, when are you going to start?
They should have banned them for 2-3 months and after that they should have devised the punishment for ball tampering. That would have been fair.
