Apple will start applying that exemption if you abuse their refund process. One or two refunds in a short period is usually enough to trigger it, and it disappears again after some “good behaviour”.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're completely right. If your account is flagged, they will show an additional popup like this: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/01/b7lgr...

It seems pretty random when it's applied though. Some got it after just one refund, meanwhile I've had multiple refunds, and I got that popup once for a $1 purchase but then never again and I was able to request a refund again.
