Oh yes, it's pretty clear to me that something is wrong on Apple's side specifically with my account. Obviously people are having close to zero friction with Apple's stuff.
I can't complain though because I have this account for like couple decades and loosing that account would be painful. Apple did ban my account twice on the grounds that it's a US account while I'm not physically located there. I was able to revert the ban by explaining that I've got a US legal entity (account, banking card, etc) and thus I beg to continue using it. Not taking chances for the third time, so I silently endure.

I don't believe that to be true, I have been having issues with Apple bugs for the last 7-8 years. Totally unnecessary friction due to features I do not want and do not use.
