Tbh the whole Suarez one confused me, but there certainly are cases of release clauses being met despite a reluctant seller, right?

Yeah, but many clubs are reluctant to go that route. It is considered bad form, leads to bad feelings between the clubs, etc.
fwiw Suarez's agent claims Liverpool blocked that move, despite Arsenal meeting the release clause. Seems if clubs dig their heels in, the release clause is flimsy ground for the buying club to stand on & they have a hard time forcing it through.
