Many people wonder why Google never provides a reason for cancelling an account like this. The answer is that any reason they provide would also be seen as their opening argument. They're not interested in arguing whether their reasons are valid, so they don't even give a reason.
If you give people a reason, the implication is that there is a deficiency which can be improved, a fault which can perhaps be forgiven, or a set of circumstances which can be seen another way. It gives people a place to begin an argument, and this is clearly a case where people are eager to do so.
Google doesn't want to start a conversation, they want to remove the participant from the program. Not having a reason makes that clear, and providing reasons makes that less clear.
It's the same dynamic when salespeople want to know why you don't want to buy — they're hoping they can persuade you to set aside those concerns and leave you with no rational reason not to make the purchase.
It's also the reason why, if you dump a needy romantic partner, you're better off not providing concrete reasons — the reason is just that you want the relationship to be over! You don't want them running after you screaming, "But I can change!"
In this case with AdSense, sifting out the accounts who "sometimes" break the rules from complete scammers is probably just deemed to be not worth the trouble. Doing things this way also helps establish that they are tough on fraud.
Also, as Google themselves say, they don't want to help give those who are gaming the system to get any more information than necessary about what sets off their alarms or trips the trigger to deactivate an account. But even so, there are good reasons to not give reasons.
