Isn’t that just deliberate on their part? As in, they genuinely don’t want developers to use these APIs and just allow them for accessibility use cases.

If that were the case, and Apple suddenly decided that no apps are allowed to use the accessibility APIs, so many utilities would just cease to exist, it'd ruin the OS tbh.

You'd lose all window managers, things like alfred and textexpander, screenshot tools, computer use agents, etc.
