I’m sure like most models, the weight of your submission will largely be determined by multiple factors, such as the age of the account, how much money you’ve spent, whether you’ve spent money on the app being reported, how many devices are connected to the account and for how long, etc. Not all complaints are created equal and it allows them to attribute a “trust factor” across several metrics.

For a few thousand bucks and the right cause, I'll happily sell my vetted AppleID for this. I don't have anything important in there -- a ton of apps that I never use that I can't remove from my account, and years of history. It is of zero value to me, but apparently because of these checks, could be worth a lot of money to someone else.
