I am a hobbyist by night... but have engineer approval/recommendations in my day job for a major fortune 500 company.

This times 1000000. The electronics industry is a small one. People move around and talk to each other.
Hardware design is hard, we don't need suppliers that make our work more difficult than needed.
Hopefully Keysight can find a solution to properly support all of their customers.
With all the efforts they do in marketing (Keysight University, ...), it would be a waste not to do so.

Please address customersupport@rohde-schwarz.com with details of the problem and your account so that the colleagues can resolve the issue.

OK, I did that and I got a proper e-mail this time with the explanation that due to security issues, R&S does not permit corporate accounts to register with generic emails (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) and private account holders with such emails would need to provide a model and serial number of an R&S device to reactivate their account. I provided the model and serial numbers and my account is now active again. I'm still working on the spare parts angle. If anyone knows of an R&S distributor willing to take an order for one rear foot (p/n 1096.2493.00 drawing # 5063 "RUECKWANDFUSS 50MM", a rear foot assembly) let me know.
Thanks to Rich@RohdeScopesUSA for whatever went on in the background.
Rich@RohdeScopesUSA:
Hi Everyone - I'm happy to see the Gloris accounts are getting back up and running. Thanks to my colleagues in Munich for figuring out the glitch there.
I think I've replied to all the PMs - I apologize for my slowness in getting back to some of you. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I didn't get back to you :-+
-Rich

I'm pretty sure that this is either a result of a legitimate interpretation of a boneheaded "consumer protection" law or a boneheaded interpretation of a legitimate consumer protection law. I don't know which law specifically, but I seriously doubt Keysight is intentionally shunning paying customers just because they don't like them.

My understanding is that it's "a legitimate interpretation of a boneheaded 'consumer protection' law." I believe there are some restrictions around "industrial equipment" [probably not the correct legal term] being sold to non-industrial parties (aka individuals). I do not know the details but @oldtestgear I'm looking into it with Peter.

This reply from Keysight on July 16 seems to be their latest reply. Does anyone know what the current situation is?
