I'm not surprised by this.
From Apples perspective, Epic meaningfully bypassed key terms of the App store which have been in force since the App store was created. Epic then turned around and sued Apple. It also became clear they were planning for this sequence to occur, in effect, trying to publicly shame Apple. I think I would be surprised if Apple DIDN'T suspend their accounts. The signing on Mac is just a side effect of loosing dev tools due to Epic's actions. Maybe they should have sued first before taking action that would get them suspended.
That said, I am glad someone with the means is pushing back against the 30% App Store rates. I value what Apple provides, but it is excessive for a general computing device (unlike an XBOX, Leapfrog, etc).
