Computer says "no".

Arguing over whether something should have been banned or pulled is one thing, having to comply with some diktat through gritted teeth is another.

But it's something else to be banned, suspended or have an app pulled, while not being told why, no clue given as what needs to be changed, with no easy path to having that decision reviewed or rescinded.

The only 'appeals process' these days seems to be to kick up a huge fuss on social media and hope that works.

If companies won't do better of their own accord it's up to others to force them to do better. If it takes laws to create some modicum of 'due process' then so be it.
