Doesn't Apple permaban you if you do this?

They only ban unprofitable apps. Scam apps that make money are typically okay since Apple gets a 30% cut.

I believe the commenter was referring to the consumer (i.e., their Apple ID account) rather than the developer.

Given that Apple Support is the ones that told them to do this, it sounds like there's more to this than a simple refund of an in app purchase. IAP charges are from Apple, so they're saying Apple Support told them to file a chargeback against Apple. That doesn't make sense.
