Who says Bi2S3 and CuS will not dissolve? In most circumstances they will
Answered by Doc
Sulfur combines with H+ => H2S(g) and shifts the solubility equilibrium toward more ionization and increased solubility.

The formation of H2S essentially is removing S-2 from the solution forcing the metal-sulfide to decompose in order to replace the sulfur combined with the added H+.
