Bullshit. Why would you believe it's good faith? Why wouldn't you want rules written down if they're to be enforced? Rules should be spelled out clearly to be fair and transparent.

They may enforce it for a little while, but they can now quietly drop enforcing it and no one will notice because it will be a change documented internally only.

This is a transparent attempt to manage the outrage.

I don't necessarily believe it's in good faith. Just pointing out that it could be a simple misunderstanding and added back.

They can quietly drop or add anything internally, or just be inconsistent. They don't even have to have a public policy. So the words don't mean much to begin with. Once there are examples of no enforcement is when it becomes a serious issue.
