That's all I get. I contacted email support, they took seven days to respond with this message:

So they didn't even try to do anything to solve my problem. I replied and 13 days later still no response. So I opened up a new email support case while trying to get the phone support going. Phone support was just as useless. They did a "deep dive" and then came back with literally no more information than the support email. I asked about what my options for escalating this were and they had no suggestions.
Next I tried creating a new apple account, this failed whenever I got to the step where you need to enter a 2FA code from a phone, probably because I reused the same phone number since of course I only have one phone number.
I got a reply from the second email support case:

Same useless response. They obviously need to escalate this to an engineer who can actually find out what's broken, but I've exhausted every single thing I could myself and the only consistent thing I see is that literally every step of every process is broken in some way.
