Why Riot is disabling ranked matches now due to the instant recalls...
...but when there was the Blade of the Ruined King hack some months ago, they didn't disabled ranked at all?

Presumably because that was one item- it was easy to detect who bought it- and this is MULTIPLE champions just backing.
Cause that was a hack that could be stop by suspending the player.
This is a bug that effecting everyone.

But it was still game breaking, and it was arguably a lot more game breaking than the instant recall bug.
Didn't they disable BOTRK once the problem was identified? (As I recall that took longer than it usually does for this sort of thing, but still.)

No, BOTRK could still be used. Riot didn't even made any effort to explain to the players why they should have avoided playing ranked.
I guess they didn't disable it before it was fixed, but they did post about it, such as:

And apparently it was posted on the server status pages.
I think that Ranked was not disabled because this was after the end of S4 -- it ended on 11/11/2014 and that EUW forum post saying they were working on a fix was on 11/13.
