While I agree that they have hurt your account, and I hope that you find some resolution on the matter because it looks like you did things correctly without knowing the specifics, how have they destroyed your work for the last 2 years?

Well, I suppose his business (app) was reliant on their platform (Google Play) in several ways.

It's not like he can just transfer his stuff on f-droid or whatever and call it a day. If the app isn't on Google Play, it simply doesn't exist for most Android users. For instance, even being tech savvy, APKs and alternative stores are a huge turnoff for me.

This is significantly more than what Apple offers

Now it will be very difficult to spread the application, also the costs of servers and services are quite high and let's be honest, without understanding that people need your work, how long will you be ready to continue investing your time and money in it?

They didn't hurt his account, they killed it, and they used a robot executioner.
