Google half-asses all of their products except perhaps AdSense. I'm not surprised you had such a bad experience.

The galling thing about Apple is that they make so much money off of their store (and charge developers so much). With the Chrome store, you're basically getting what you pay for.

I'd suggest you find a well known english speaking developer who seems to do well in the webstore that you think might have connections. Email them, say you really respect them and their work and ask if they have any advice or know who might be able to help you.

Simultaneously, make a blog post on medium about your experience. You have emails, you have logs of submissions, write up the whole thing with screen shots, redacting anything that you need to. Include what you want done in your situation, and recommendations so that your situation isn't repeated. Submit to HN.

IF all else fails, republish the code under a new name/account/email.

on other platforms where the store was free I got a very different response. Wix, Shopify even surprisingly enough Facebook. I don't think it's an excuse
