Isn't this Shopify clearly engaging in theft?

    ... they locked us out of Upsell X and we couldn’t support it anymore. Even further
    - they kept charging merchants for Upsell X - but we never received those payouts.

Yeah, they should have an open-and-shut case against Shopify here, no?

Probably some manager in Shopify saw an opportunity to siphon off some funds, and figured they could hide behind lawyers.

As a layman very much not-lawyer, the term "unjust enrichment" is springing to mind. Wonder if that's what this would be considered as?
