It's the most Googly way of saying "You can't. Fuck off" that I've seen yet.

This is just normal for Google support.

The Google My Business help section is a similar graveyard with people wailing for help but not a single actual Google employee there to be of assistance. That is, unless your thread gets some insane amount of traction but also at risk of being locked

Can anyone at the company respond? Or is it some special support staff?
There’s no support staff at Google, much less special support staff.
No, no one will. Phone support does not exist except for certain services like Ads. Even then, Ads has a recording that says get lost if you're not calling about ads.

You can find random employees on LinkedIn and email them and they'll respond but it won't go anywhere.

Google has support staff for every product, and they are available via chat or phone. The waits are only a couple of minutes.

All you need to do is subscribe to Google One for a nominal annual fee. I've found it pays off easily, and I'll be renewing again.

Even for GMB? Because I will gladly pay money to talk to a human the next time I get banned for the vaguest reason and all appeals fail with no additional information
If by "GMB" you mean "Google My Business", I sort of doubt it, because One is a consumer, end-user product, for individuals and families.

I am sure that if you subscribe to Google Workspaces for Business/Enterprise that they will be responsive in that regard.
