His video statement is pretty funny; I wish they were all this funny. https://u.pomf.is/imrkjv.webm "Steadfast commitment to a cock joke".

I'm kind of surprised Hetzner didn't replace a hard drive after the first raid; it was apparently operating in degraded RAID-1.

I'm surprised that they give out your drive(s) without handing out a document that explains why they had to do that.

As far as I'm aware (not a lawyer, a complete layman) there's no 'gag order' here. So, my limited understanding so far is that this is either a complete fuck-up ("Nah, we don't care to provide that document") or malicious. Even if I follow the 'probably stupid, not malicious' argument: Why would you want to pay Hetzner if this video is correct and you won't even be able to get the documentation for them handing out your data?

Why do you assume there's no gag order? From what I understand it's either that or what you suggest.
If there were a gag order, why would they have told him at all? Grab the disk, blame a hardware failure, done.
