The Apple representative also stated that the accounts were the same legal entity (due to the accounts being based on the same bank account). I don't think it's necessarily an error for them not to contact all involved accounts if they share something as private as a bank account.

Them linking accounts by some heuristic does make them the same /legal/ entity. Shared bank accounts/accounts with multiple owners do exist. They bet that their heuristic is correct. In this case they might have gotten it wrong. That's their problem.

Do they make people aware that the accounts are linked?

It's in the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. You're responsible for anything that happens with your stuff while it's enrolled under your name.

In a lot of countries, bank account is just the standard way of paying for everything.

It could be the bank account used for receiving proceeds from app store sales they are talking about.

It’s also possible he misspoke and was referring to the credit or debit card (and thus the account it was for) used to open the dev account.
