what exactly is the argument here ? That it is OK for a government to be revengeful on a non-cooperative opponent ?

The argument is: do not deal with the justice system as you deal with customer support. Disrespect court orders have consequences. This is not the government being "revengeful", it is the government enforcing the law.

It's questionable that the judge is enforcing the law. Evidence: her decision has been reversed already.
