It still happens once in a while. Recently one author whose newsletter I get mentioned that they and two other authors had been locked out and their books had disappeared from Amazon. After quite a bit of back and forth, it appears that when Amazon's search found several of those authors' books on a couple of newish ebook piracy sites which Amazon's artificial idiocy algorithms had not yet flagged as being pirate sites, they were locked out without any notice.
