Oh, you mean being locked out by the vendor, not accidentally locking yourself out.

Yes, that sucks. I have an old account at a FAANG they won't allow me to log in to despite me knowing the current password, my old passwords and the old e-mail. But it is partly my own fault because I changed the e-mail and phone number to a fake one.

I will say that getting locked out (= banned) by Google or Apple usually means you're doing something odd or even seedy. Of all the regular people I'm acquainted with, it hasn't happened to anyone, ever. And that's gotta easily be 100+ people. However people like dropshippers, grey hats, OF models etc etc any people with irregular cash flows or e-mail traffic definitely run a risk.
