Chrome extension rejected despite meeting permission requirements

I have a Chrome extension available on the Chrome Web Store. I wanted to submit a new version, but it got rejected because it uses the ‘tabs’ permission, which is not required. My extension is designed to save and restore users’ browser window layouts, including all opened tabs. To achieve this functionality, I use the chrome.windows.getAll({populate: true}) function to retrieve all opened windows and their corresponding tab URLs. There is no content or background scripting in my extension. In my opinion, the ‘tabs’ permission is still necessary to ensure the extension functions properly.
