> If my HBO Max account detects a fraudulent charge, my completely unrelated email provider doesn't then irreversibly disable my email account and tell me to just set up a new one.

Do you have any evidence Apple has done that here?

It is a natural consequence of the services being bundled together, and with Apple not telling you what the cause is. The response from the person who says they used to work at Apple is informative: https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/15gechw/apple_ju...

Again, nobody has said they have an account that's been flagged and lost iCloud access, including the post you linked to.

Based on the OP, Apple did not provide any reason as to why the account was flagged, just that they exhibited "Fraudulent patterns". What evidence are you expecting them to provide here when the service provider is so tight-lipped?

No, I mean is there any evidence they did more than disable the account's iTunes / App Store access?
