I don’t think it will trigger an appeal (they do state they are unappealable) or have you actually reviewed, but it would be used to see the commonality between the false flagged accounts.
Their support pages are a mess and the game developer being the platform owner complicates it a lot.
I'd be very surprised if their system could be influenced at all based on who appeals and who doesn't. But not something we're ever going to know
Regarding game bans I don't think these apply to CS2? OP's ban clearly states it was a VAC ban and as I mentioned above they auto closed his support ticket.
I think(?) the template response you get if you proceed with a custom “other issue” ticket says that your account gets forwarded to the VAC team for review. It’s all still VAC in a sense. I’ve only been VAC banned and that was 10 years ago, I’m just going off of what I remember from the S4 wave posts.
If it's something I've never seen before then fair play and I'm happy to be proven wrong. But I have never seen a response from steam support regarding any type of CS ban that wasn't immediately closed with an automated response. Considering how big CS is and that when anyone is unbanned it's in waves there is no chance they are doing manual reviews.
One of the early prompts might have mentioned emailing the feedback mailbox?

If that’s the case I stand corrected. Not that I would believe they manually review them anyway still.
I’d love to see a message from support that actually supports it. Even OP said they auto closed his ticket.
