>A lot of abuse is things like posted comments.

Right, but removing an offending comment can easily be done indepenently of any other action against the account.

>the optics of false positives being held to ransom to get their account back is terrible.

That's true and I had that thought as well, but it's clearly the lesser evil compared to stories of people losing irreplaceable data.

>many accounts aren't easily verifiable.

True, but as I said, users could be given an option to make their account easily verifiable.
