They've always been like this. Back in 2005 I had a website that was popular enough to earn about $80 a month in Google ads. When I tried to cash out with $300 to pay for some college books Google cancelled my ads account claiming click fraud and kept the money. They completely ignored any attempts to contact them.
In some ways I'm lucky it happened when it did, as it kept me from relying on Google services since then. Google is horrible when it comes to customer service- always has been, always will be- and it's why I'll never understand people who advocate for GCP or other Google services.
