The driver in my opinion for first-party use of OAuth is to separate the
trust domains so that the application is scoped in what it can do vs an
application that has full access to all resources. I agree that third-party
can indicate that internal use does not apply. How about the following?

   The OAuth 2.1 authorization framework enables an *independent*
   application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on
   behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction
   between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the
   application to obtain access on its own behalf.  This
   specification replaces and obsoletes the OAuth 2.0 Authorization
   Framework described in RFC 6749.
