As far as I know, nobody even knows what the phrase "associated account" means, it could be anything, maybe someone free-riding on your WiFi?
It's one of the things Google does that I find absolutely appalling. It patently absurd that you for unknowable reasons might become unable to continue supporting yourself without any recourse or remedy at the leisure of these behemoth companies, only because they consider you associated with someone who has broken the rules.
Since so little is known, it might even affect your possibilities for employment. Who would want to risk their product getting thrown out of the app store because your team got 'tainted' by a hire which had a prior app store termination to his/her name?
Google's rules. How long till they decide that making apps to break Android DRM, or block advertising, is also against their rules? Those rules aren't written to advance ethical computing, but to make Google money.
It sounds like you really want to bring that up with the Terms of Service of your government.
There are too many parallels between how the feudal lords of old treated indentured labour/bond servants/serfs and how app developers are treated today. Difference too, clearly, but the similarities are concerning nevertheless.
In feudal society the lords were effectively above the law, and from the perspectives of an app developer, the app store gatekeepers are similarly above the law. Not literally so, but effectively so. We've allowed companies to create their own virtual kingdoms where the ToS is the constitution, and the serfs have no rights but those given by the king.
