You're reading into this too much. If this were happening all the time and people were raising concerns left and right, then yes--it'd indicate this was caught by an automated system that makes big assumptions. That's not the case here. They reiterated many times on that phone call that they're sure they didn't make a mistake and they have no financial interest in banning his account. They gave him an "out" by letting him post a carefully worded post without even admitting wrongdoing and he instead recorded their phone call and posted part (!) of it on his blog. How people are seeing Apple as in the wrong here is mindblowing.
