Motivation:
The manuscript was submitted as part of a special issue call. It went through 4 rounds of revisions, the last of them being a minor one. A new set of reviewers was assigned on each round, each one with different opinions about the manuscript and unaware of the previous changes. The manuscript was rejected after 20 months during the 4th (minor) review by decision of the editor, arguing a lack of adherence of the journal field.
