Why are they rejecting all my photos as too low quality?

I don't see what makes my images considered as "too low quality", as they were taken using the highest ranked smartphonecamera on DXOmark.com

The highest rated smartphone camera is still no match for a mid-range real camera. The sensor is still too small in comparison.

And besides, the camera itself is not necessarily the issue and issues not necessarily beyond repair. This one is underexposed, and even then it's left with no detail in the highlights. You would also need a model release.

If the building would not have gotten a Quality Issues refusal, you would have gotten an IP violation refusal:

Hmm, with all these requirements, it's much easier to just make it AI-generated instead. AI only copies part of the aesthetics: how does it look?

How does it look? First tell us what it is.

You can get refusals on quality with a $50.000 camera. The camera you use is not exactly a guarantee that your pictures get accepted.

Depending on the orientation of the photo, the horizontal direction may not be straight, but the vertical direction will be straight.
The photo is slightly tilted.

I think the Barrow photo is about composition.
It's leaning towards the bottom.

This was marked as the correct answer, but also accepted on resubmission of the exact same picture:

Much easier to swap it out for an AI interpretation of the scene for free than to buy a 50K camera.

Photo 1: Underexposed shadows and IP violation of the boat.

Photo 2. IP violation on the tag. Overexposed highlights on the neck and hand.

Photo 3. Vertical and horizontal lines not straight.

This was indeed marked as the correct answer, but the rejectings seem arbitrary as when resubmitting the exact same pictures 2/3 do seem to get accepted:
