It sucks, but it comes from the learning that when you do provide specific explanations it’s really just coaching chronic abusers how to get around bans. The collateral damage of legit users who accidentally tripped the detection algorithm is accepted as the less-bad of options.

Not defending it, just sharing perspective from having worked on some fraud/abuse mitigation projects.
