Why disable the account rather than just notifying them and asking them to change the logo?

I had a parody twitter account which was accused of trademark infringement last year. Twitter just asked me to change the logo to make it more clear that it wasn't the official one (I changed the shape of it rather than just one of the words), and everything carried on as normal. The whole thing was over in a couple of days and my account stayed online the whole time.
