I don't think that it isn't allowed but that they have seen that fraudulently acquired resources are generally used for crypto-mining so they felt that this was a good signal to look for.

Right. Reading between the lines a bit, it's not the activity itself that DO is worried about, but a pattern of usage that suggests that the account may have been created fraudulently or compromised.

This is correct. This was the primary thing we were attempting to solve for in this case and the bug in the algorithm started the chain of events documented in the postmortem.
