What API are you using to keep running in the background? Most likely you are misusing it on some manner and have yet to get caught by App Review.

I've seen this bypassed via background audio and background location.
The app does background audio, and its use is legitimate. It is an audio app.
But the point is - there's no fundamental restriction from the OS itself.
You contradicted yourself.
Whether you want to call it a “restriction”, “a lack of permission without being X type of activity”, or “it works because the app exhibits Y behavior”, it’s all functionally a restriction.
You can run some background activities that are not audio apps, but you’re at the mercy of iOS’s decision to keep your task active or not. If you’re off the charger, all bets are off. iOS’s dev docs make this very clear.

Another way of phrasing this: There is a fundamental restriction, with a carve out for a few specific things, including audio playback.
