Happened all the time over on r/androiddev. Small company brings on the wrong person/uses the wrong SDK/wrongfully fails an review and their account is then banned via "association", which then propagates down to countless other employees. Only way out is to hope and pray that a human sees the appeal or try and blow up online

Happened so often in fact that the subreddit even created several guides on how to avoid it. My favourite part is that even unpublished apps must be updated in perpetuity to abide by Google's ever changing requirements

Or this other occasion where viewers of one of the most popular YouTubers in the world were banned for typing in chat
