> tl;dr you don’t have a gmail account, you have a google account. if that account gets banned on one service, you may lose everything.

I’m perfectly aware.

> there are plenty of examples throughout history

I’m not asking about plenty of them, I’m asking about one. Has there been a case where, as you said, Google has banned an account because someone sang a copyrighted song in a video? That’s the one I want to read about.

I don’t have any sympathy for large corporations and I don’t use Google services, I just want to be informed about draconian tech decisions.

Did you make up that story? It’s OK if you did as a hyperbole, I just want to know.
