Confused about rejection of HDR images

I'm brand new to Adobe Stock but have viewed it as a marketplace for photographers to sell images that people are interested in.  Today all of my HDR images were rejected, citing noise/graininess.  Indeed, they definitely are not as sharp as original photos but many are VERY appealing images.  I'm wondering if the images are being rejected by some bot rather than a human being.  Take, for example, this image I captured in San Francisco:

It garnered over 2,000 likes in a photography group in a matter of days, where most photos generally receive no more than a few dozen.  I've enlarged this photo on canvas for several friends and it looks great.  So why was it rejected?

Something that is very solid artistically can garner likes and be enjoyed on a canvas, but something that is artistically good isn't necessarily good as a stock image. There are two very different sets of criteria at play here.

Interesting insight.  Thank you.

Can you recommend any sites that might be well suited for selling HDR images?
