Publish it as a Firefox add-on instead.

Ding ding ding. Stop using chrome!
- My $0.02: I suspect each time you submit, you're evaluated by someone different, and everyone has their own interpretation of the criteria.
When you submit, assume every time that you're going up against someone who's going to miss context from the prior submissions.

- The only reason the google has invested into chromium is something along the lines of web manifest v3 so they can monopolize the way internet is consumed and monetized
Of course they are going to do this
- google is an ad company. mow different lawns
- I submitted a website sitemap to Google's GSC, but it still couldn't be added.
- I ship a small extension too, so this hits home.
One path I haven't seen mentioned: the official chromium-extensions Google Group. Googlers from the Chrome Extensions team actually reply there, and a clear public post with your item ID gets a human eye the appeal form never does.

Good luck, genuinely.
