We even had an online meeting with the Apple team, who suggested that we review and revise the app to ensure compliance before resubmitting it. Following their advice, we made several updates to DreamGF to align with the App Store's guidelines.
Let this be a warning to others: these "discuss your problem on the phone with an App Review representative" sessions are often not helpful in practice; you do what they suggest but still get rejected (or in your case worse).
More generally, be aware that Apple terminate vast numbers of accounts - 428,000 in 2022, according to their own press release. I find this terrifying. The lesson is to make sure that you're not entirely dependent on Apple for success, i.e. don't get locked in to making Apple-only products using Apple-only technologies that you can't quickly port to other platforms if that becomes necessary.
