It is quite good Google cares about users. But it does not care about website owners. There is one and only reason. For Google WWW is a competition for Google Play marketplace.
Literally open internet is a competition for Google. That is why the company has no problem to issue domain wide ban, without informing website owner, without any explanation and with showing a scary message to website users to make them go away.
Author of the blog post seems to believe it is an AI action. But what I can see his company was hit with some serious damage due to a company that, I assume, has some competing apps on its Google Play platform.
I can believe AI can be the cause, but it should be a court to decide if there is no collusion and who should pay for the damage.
