I have a better idea, how about stop needlessly dissenting and/or replying if you don't have anything substantive to add per the original query. I simply asked, if someone was going to submit to S220107RB or similar TOP-LINER listings, that they consider posting a link to their submission here for a listen. That's ALL. you don't have a track to offer as an example, then you Don't Need To Reply At All. Especially replying "oh, the bar is high. High means very high, high is high because Grammy, high is absolutely very highest high, Don't you Know What High Means?" is ridiculous & overbearing when the request was for a
listening example for reference since the usual Broadcast Quality standard might not apply; is that now perfectly clear?

The obvious error in your thinking is that they would use the submitted tune...
They are looking for a Collaborator for future songwriting
If you can show depth/quality in melodic structure and hook lines, then this is your opportunity!
I agree... and yet it could go in various degrees, it's almost as if the listing could simply say "looking for Great Vocalist, who is somewhat of a Songwriter" except it also says the resultant work may be sung by someone else, which then puts it more in the "looking for Songwriter, who may also become the Singer"; though in general the listing seems to suggest that little focus on Instrumentation is warranted (too bad, virtuoso pianists). Perhaps Irving Berlin himself would get rejected.
I also thought of
Kali J as a reference but the available tracks are the polished versions not the original demo's. For all I know, the demos (i.e. submissions to "request for top-liner collaborators") are simply the songwriter rapping over a drum machine's sequenced beat (Instrumentation: none!).
