Except we see this all the time on HN. Google support is yelling loudly into HN/Twitter and hoping a Googler picks up your case internally.
The way Google has proven to work, is you have support until the AI/ML model says terminate the account. Essentially, support exists until you need it most. There's no warning, no explanation, just one day you're done, locked out. You can't even export your content off the platform once terminated. I don't see how Google One is expected to help users when developers for Android/Stadia which pay Google a heck of a lot more end up the same creek [0] [1] etc. You even concede it probably won't be helpful.
They eventually get reinstated (looks like d4rken got reinstated last night), but not before they take to social media and Google gets requests for comment from a handful of news outlets. And still, they usually have no idea what they did/didn't do to cause it. They're left guessing but ultimately could have the rug pulled again at anytime.
