Exactly. There you go and that's the idea. This can happen to anyone.

I don't understand why they cheer on with the same "X is a private company and can ban, censor or remove whatever they like" argument when it happens to someone they don't like with but only care when it happens to them or to someone they agree with.

Just look at how Google Play removed other apps on the Play Store after Parler was banned [0]. This can happen to anyone.

These companies that hold this power are not anyone's friends and once again are on the side of profit. When will supporters of such acts learn that it can soon happen to them and realise that these large companies are the problem?
