I am going to assume that the problem is Google once again using an automated, AI powered system that's designed to prevent abuse. Only it's too draconian - if not downright faulty - and punishes innocent devs but that Google has decided that's an ok trade-off because the system prevents enough abuse and is much cheaper than employing more human beings for their abuse prevention efforts. So what if 10% of all abuse patterns are false positives - they have millions of devs lining up to be part of the Google Play ecosystem.

Google has similar problems with automated, AI powered systems at Adsense, Adwords, Youtube, GCP etc, and the constant abuse and total lack of communication they've put their customers through has had many of them abandoning these platforms.

Meanwhile, their poor treatment of customers keep reinforcing the notion that Google simply cannot offer the level of customer service people need to run their businesses, and that's one problem they can't code or AI themselves out of.
