Lemmy is open source and built by the community - the apps are all third party - with the exception of Jerboa, which is maintained by the same maintainers as Lemmy and lemmys default web interface.
So if the community want accessibility, they can do it themselves, submitting code to the maintainers for consideration or building their own interface based on the official and universal API that all interfaces use.
Essentially the official app is official only because of who maintains it - it has just as much privilege and the same access as the other apps and interfaces, and that’s why the app is not called “The Lemmy App” but rather “Jerboa for Lemmy”
Thee official web interface is official and named “Lemmy-UI” not only because of the maintainers but also because it’s bundled with the standard instance backend code - you set up a standard Lemmy instance package, it comes with “Lemmy-UI” as it’s basic interface, alongside thus it also includes additional tools and access for instance admins to use to administer the instance while it’s running.
