Is this a forced win for Black or something?

And where exactly did I write that this is Black's only option? I can give you a handful.
10...Nc5 (iso 10...b4) 11.O-O-O Be7 12.g4 Nfd7/Qc7/Rc8.
Or 8...Be7 9.Be3 O-O 10.Qd2 Bd7 and 11...Nc6.
Or lines with ...Qc7.
In all of them Black is OK.

If that ....b4 and ...d5 idea is strong White should play 10.g4 first. And no, specific disclaimer, that doesn't promise anything more than just a playable game either.
So nobody should be surprised that an unrated player gets creamed by a GM.

White has a few other options: 15.Ng3 is not good, White should have played 15.O-O-O.
Rybka wants White to play 14.O-O.
12.Na4 does not lose a piece after Qa5 13.a3.
White could try 10.g4 first.
Of course Black should be OK in all cases.

Perhaps your opponents read this forum, because I advocated it a few times. It's no great shakes, but it is an easy to learn system that's not entirely without venom. Black for instance should better avoid 5...a6 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bb3 b5 8.f3 Be7 9.Be3 Nbd7/Bb7 10.Bxe6!
In the pure English Attack Black quite often relies on the central counterstroke ...d6-d5. With playing Bf1-c4-b3 White wants to hinder or prevent that. If Black plays too slow he/she can get trampled underfoot, see eg Langer-Balcerak, Bonn 1995. In this game White manages to make use of Bb3 as early as move 15.
You probably will find more inspiration in Chakurira-Fickadu, Abuja 2003. There are some move order issues though; White might play 10.g4 and 11.g5 first.
Similar is Soares-Andrade, Rio de Janeiro 2000. Again White must play an early g2-g4-g5 to stay in the game. The game score in my database looks wrong btw.
I'd say that this system is useful for those who begin with the Open Sicilian (White can use it in the pure Sozin, against the Scheveningen and against the Najdorf); above ELO 1800 any prepared player should get a reasonable til good game against it.
Not that the plans mentioned by you should lose by force.

5...a6 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bb3 b5 8.Be3 Bb7 9.f3 Nbd7 10.Qd2 (10.g4 first to meet ...Nb6 with Qe2) Ne5 (Rybka wants to meet Nb6 with 11.O-O-O Nfd7 12.Bxe6, but I guess Black has other move orders) 11.g4 Rc8 12.h4 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Rxc4 14.O-O-O b4 15.Na4 d5 16.g5 is a sample line.

Indeed.*  As Golubev put it, "it is not surprising, for instance, that White's plan connected with f3, g4 and g5, which is not bad in other varieties of the Sicilian, is usually too slow and unsuccesful here as it fails to generate a rapid threat to e6 and makes no use of the b3-bishop."

*though there are the quite important Qf3 lines, in which f3 is sometimes played later
