My understanding is that's standard procedure for Apple. If you violate the TOS, they'll block app updates, but it would have to be egregious for them to remove the app. At a company I worked at previously, we got hit with a copyright issue, and they just wouldn't let us push through a new version until we resolved it. Also, for a company the size of Uber, having your app blocked for a month, and not being able to get new features or bug fixes out, is probably a sizable cost, when you factor in lost developer time.
