Although it will only be fully in force as of March 6th, this sounds like an obvious violation of the European Union's new Digital Markets Act to me.
Article 6.12 states: "The gatekeeper shall apply fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory general conditions of access for business users to its software application stores", whereas nothing about their decision is fair & reasonable.
Furthermore: "For that purpose, the gatekeeper shall publish general conditions of access, including an alternative dispute settlement mechanism.", while it sounds like no serious appeals procedure was offered.
Now, how to actually enforce this in a procedure that won't take years to complete is a different question..
