It should be compatible with app stores. How would the inability to swap out the VLC library be any different from a program that you can't change because it's on a system managed by a sysadmin? Of course you, as a user, can run LGPL programs on mainframes or other third-party managed systems, this was a well known use case when the LGPL was written.

The other used without admin, is just using some remote service. (With telnet/ssh. No distribution of copyrighted material is going on there, just input/output from a remote service, like a web site running LGPL code.)
