"Excuse me sir, would you mind carrying this extension that goes against your core business of selling ads?"
Publish it as a Firefox add-on instead.

Yeah, this exactly. Google goes out of their way to be as unfriendly to adblockers as possible in Chrome. I don't know why anyone is still even using Chrome or why you would want to support them (by value-adding to their browser) with your efforts.

because it's still the fastest browser with the most intuitive UI, which is all the vast majority of people care about

Edge is better, with only downside is that MS keep pushing Bing on its users.

... And all your searches, preferences and and browsing history is linked to your Microsoft + Windows account so you can be targeted by ads better..
I have no idea why people chose Edge over Brave or Vivaldi.

I can't think of literally anything meaningfully different about the Chrome UI from any other browser...

Yup – I think that Chrome’s Manifest V3 has severely limited the capabilities of ad blockers like uBlock Origin as well. I switched to Librewolf a while ago.

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

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.
