I have honestly no idea what designing an interface for people with
difficulties means.
Creating a command line edition of Thunderbird helps those in low graphics
environments etc..that is an everyone thing. It adds choices.
The guy who created my alpine configuration tried to work in some
Thunderbird folder items for example, kind of odd, but most of his
reasoning was seeking what he knew.
I too am thankful for the app password process in gmail, it seems to
solve my personal experience as well.
So far so good with google's remaining willing to keep this in place.

..which is one reason why I personally wish there was a command line build
of Thunderbird.
The Linux wiz who configured alpine for gmail still mutters about the
differences.
Theoretically, this wizard of Thunderbird could be replicated in Alpine. But
Thunderbird has maybe a hundred developers (ok, maybe not so many after their
staff reduction), while Alpine has basically one. The amount of features that
can be added to Alpine are very limited.
And someone could take the Thunderbird code and design an interface for
people with difficulties.
That said, my alpine works fine with gmail, for months without touching it.
In my case, using application passwords. There is always the fear of gmail
removing that, but apparently they are not going to do that.
