To my knowledge, Apple has not gone after people doing this in the past.



Yes they have.

It is routine for people who breaks the terms and conditions to have their account revoked.


Not for taking screenshots of developer betas.


That's not all of what he did, though. He'd data mine it like crazy, and would get into areas he really shouldn't have been in (Apple Arcade before launch, etc). The fact that this is all Apple did to him (killing his developer account) is pretty amazing.


Based on the kinds of things he showed, I am fairly certain that an employee was providing him some sort of access to an internal carry build, which is entirely outside of the developer program agreement (and possibly into an actual courtroom.)
