Apart a few honourable exceptions, sites don't give a shit if you donated or not. They want your money and they want you to STFU about it. You get a few perks, but the most important one, the one that is about honour, they don't give you. and the pruning rule is one of the complains i could have.
because if you donated to help keep the site alive, the site should look back at you and help you keep your account alive. It's the least, the very least they should do.
Furthermore, they are not even being intelligent when disabling a donor. It's one less chance they have of seeing him donating again, after he already shown in the past he is willing to help the cause.
sites (most of them) have no loyalty to their users (some call them members, and those are where share and care walk side by side).
