Well... as I said just try to exclude Apple and maybe some others, maybe it will work 😉
You want to be in those major stores but trying to be 'special', why they need to think that you're so special?
You want to sell your music in the huge shopping mall, on shelves in a store? What is the difference? Does it make sense to you?
They are the owners of their stores "unfortunately" and WE ALL have to follow the rules, not only you...🤷‍♂️

Hello Jack,

We noticed the artwork on your recently uploaded release Banjo (UPC: 9360932125693) has an issue that needs to be addressed before we can deliver. We are unable to use this artwork because the DSPs, namely Apple, have recently tightened their restrictions on artwork and release metadata, and will likely reject this release.

Can you please ensure that any text on your release artwork only matches the release title and/or artist name?
Please resubmit artwork by going to your MY CATALOGUE page in your artist dashboard and clicking 'Edit Release' on the view album page. Please re-upload art that is:
Clear in resolution (not blurry) - preferably 300 dpi
3000 x 3000 pixels in size, perfectly square
If you wish to include text on the artwork it can include; the name of the release, AND/OR the name of the artist. The text MUST match the release title.
