An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

Not an "apple fan", an apple-focuse software dev deeply embedded in their dev community. Which I suppose goes a long way to explain them being multiple terabytes in the hole inside Apple's ecosystem without a separate backup, but also why even having a separate backup would definitely not fix their problem in the first place.

I think the root issue is still real: Person buys a gift card from a store Apple says its fraud Locks account and refuses to elaborate

Agreed 100%. I think it's understandable to feel schadenfreude on someone this deeply embedded being bit by the arbitrary business practices of big corpo in a worst case scenario type of situation. But the problem is the business practices, not the person being affected. The guy's job feeding Apples gargantuan content engine doesn't make this alright.
