We do not allow reviews on behalf of a person or company with a financial interest in the product or a directly competing product. This includes authors, artists, publishers, manufacturers, or third-party merchants selling the product. As a result, we’ve removed your reviews for this title. Any further violations of our posted Guidelines may result in the removal of this item from our website.

In any case, the threat you highlight ("Amazon will remove the book if fans ask about the removal of reviews.") still involves removing an author's book due to the actions of others unconnected with the author, which seems exploitable by malicious rivals.
