They literally stated it would not affect reinstalls.



From their FAQ[0]:

> We treat different devices as different installs. We don’t want to track identity across different devices.

This allows malicious actors to fake the device identity, which leads to the exact same problem.

> We are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs or “install bombing.” We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent.

This roughly says "trust us bro". They will "work directly with you" in cases of fraud? How nice, but that could just mean an automated response email with generic advice, followed by radio silence. No promise that they will resolve the issue, no promise they will work on it before your dev studio is bankrupt, this is just a collection of words built on trust they don't have right now.

There is what they say, which is often not exactly what they do. And even if the intentions are good, behavior or scenarios not conceived may emerge.
