In Europe the account is not yours but the attached/coupled data (from email to code), since your are banned you also cant delete it, that is a legal problem...at least in europe.

A bigger legal problem here is that, being a US company asking for personal data, GitHub/Microsoft is effectively illegal in EUrope :
