We were suspended once for serving deceptive ads. Yet the only ad network we use is Google Adsense. We had to remove Google Ads to be allowed back in.

Ah, the ol' "Do as we say and not as we do" clause by Google, huh.
Pretty sure the latest iteration of mobile search result ads on google.com would get banned by google
I had apps removed for not describing them as containing ads because Google at that time was busy undermining the definition by defining basically any link to anything as advertising.
Note sure how that is possible? Was your app so ugly that everything looked like an ad, kinda like reverse camouflage?
Probably a deceptive ad (likely violating Google Ads rules) was shown via Google Ads during Google testing, automated or otherwise.
I love that.
