Family Sharing needed on iOS16?

After watching the video "What's new in Screen API", I was convinced that the Screen Time API now opens up for a broader range of apps without the need to involve Family Sharing. Like the example app "Workload" they are using in the video, an app for an individual not involving Family Sharing at all (?)

I have now built an app of a similar type, but Apple denied me the Family Controls entitlement "...as your app doesn’t utilize Family Sharing, which is required for Family Controls."

I am confused here. Does anyone have more information and/or can explain to me? My, perhaps optimistic, view is that the entitlement request reviewer based their decision on iOS 15 rules rather than the additions made to iOS 16.

And input and advice is much appreciated :-)
