Google needs to be clear on what causes apps to be removed, and based on account history should be way more lenient on what would cause account termination...

Google doesn't need to do anything. There will always be more new developers entering than people kicked out, as there are only two practical places to sell phone apps, Google and Apple.
I think part of their reasoning is that if they publish the rulebook, then people will find ways to misuse the services in a roundabout way. It’s easier to find bugs in source material you can see, than that you cannot.
I don’t agree with this, but I think it’s most likely the reasoning.
Because it sounds right and seems like common-sense. I did put "I think" and "likely" in there so I would have thought it was obvious I was speculating.
Do we need to ask everyone whether they have "particularized" knowledge for every comment they make?
