I totally agree of differentiating punishment from behaviors. A bad comment shouldn't cause all the pics from Google Photos to be inaccessible. But like you said, Google probably has to deal with these issues in incredible scale, so unless some high up personally deal with the individual cases, almost all of the bans are automated. Also, considering all the intervention would incur some cost, especially with high ups involved, unless unbanning the account has greater benefit to Google, why would they waste time doing it?
