Apple is now a privacy-as-a-service company

Isn’t this just a general SSO problem - I assume the same would happen if someone signs on with Google/Facebook/Twitter and is banned from one of those services?

Is the idea here that there’s a higher chance of this account type being banned without recourse because of the number and type of ecosystem interaction points (App Store, subscription services, etc.)?

Unlike Google, where high-profile Twitter shaming is basically the only effective technique for resolving issues, for consumers the Apple stores are a legitimate place to go and complain.

It’s not perfect but on the spectrum of bureaucratic chaos, Apple is a lesser offender.

In all those cases you are barred from logging in, sure, but the service still has your email address so the account is still "yours".
