No, there is absolutely no legal case here whatsoever. Apple's developer program terms grant them virtually unbridled power to do whatever they want with your developer account no matter how fair or how unfair. You have no legal right to have a developer account. Normal business contractual negotiations (as these are) are not blackmail.

Alright. I can go along with it not being blackmail from a legal perspective.

Morally it absolutely does remain blackmail.

I thought it's been proven that terms of service can't override or be a substitute for like... other laws. It's possible to find the terms of service invalid.

Apple's warranty policy that users 'agree with' has been over turned in many many countries.
