That could inadvertently sweep up popular labor of love projects with almost no revenue, like hobbyist communities or fan sites and so on.

A billion in topline revenue should do the trick. Once you hit that level you have to provide individualized human support. You're allowed to charge money for the support but it has to be available to anyone willing to pay at least a modest fee to communicate with a real person.

If you don't like it fuck you, you have a billion dollars get the fuck over it.

You're right. Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Anglo predisposition against "rude" language?

If a lonesome Pizza Hut franchise can afford to give me customer support, then so can Google, no questions asked. Yet you'll still find people white-knighting for them.
