Probably from power tripping mods getting in arguments or just not liking someone for an arbitrary reason. It’s very common for most power mod ran subs.
I’m sure other popular subs would have similar results if real human beings not trolls reviewed the reasons for bans.
I once got banned from a sub after I was in a discussion with someone they asked for a source so I posted a few sources. Then I was banned from the sub because apparently you’re not allowed to post links in the sub, which was news to me. Then I noticed the person I was arguing with was a mod of the sub and I had been set up. Which in retrospect is kind of funny but at the time it pissed me off.
Can confirm. When I used to participate on reddit I was permbanned from r/DemocraticSocialism for flagging a very obvious bot account, and permbanned from r/okbuddychicanery for linking a circlejerk subreddit the mods didn’t like because surprise! they’d permbanned the person that started that subreddit for reasons they completely made up.

Reddit mods are basement dwelling trolls.
