I can only see a small part of the picture of course. However, both my Chrome extensions were disabled in two separate incidents because Google decided to enforce new rules. At the same time, I've mostly given up on reporting malicious extensions in CWS.

For example, https://palant.de/2018/04/18/the-ticking-time-bomb-fake-ad-blockers-in-chrome-web-store/ … - people were trying to get these removed for months. It wasn't until the story hit the news that these were gone.

I've seen Google change rules and start disabling extensions without prior warning - when it was something they cared about. Privacy violations on the other hand were always a gray zone, most times people would get away with it.
