I don't like the tone of the comment (feels like a tantrum) but unfortunately this happens more often that people think. What I find interesting is the little information they give you after a ban. Apparently if they explained the reasons of the banning then other people could use that information to find flaws and 'game the system'. This means that, if you deliberately made something against the rules and were banned, you can then 'explain your mistake and the measures to not do it again'. But if you don't do anything unusual and simply break one of the crazy rules they have by mistake, it's game over. P.S. If you have a blog and practically all of your visits come from a single source (perhaps a link in something popular) don't EVER use admob on that blog. You will be banned.

You're not wrong that it's a bit of a tantrum, but after spending years working on a app and then being banned out of the blue without any recourse or even information, I think the author is entitled to a bit of a tantrum. It's true that giving all details might lead to people gaming the system, but c'mon, a bit of details wouldn't be so bad. This isn't some sort of fairly inconsequential website like HN or Reddit we're talking about, but literally people's livelihoods. This is like the cops walking in to your house to arrest you for theft, but they won't tell you what you stole, where you stole it, or how they know it was you. You now go to prison, have a nice day. Perhaps they're right 95% of the cases. But in 5% of cases they're wrong, and bye-bye livelihood and many years of work down the drain.
