From your reference to "the apostolic churches" I assume that you understand this, but to clarify for any less familiar with Christian denominations: both the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox churches (between them representing about 60% of global self-identifying Christians) deny the supremacy of the Bible for the same reason.
As someone on the OrthodoxChristianity subreddit put it [0], "show me where the table of contents comes from." Both Orthodox and Catholic Christians believe that because the list of books that make up the Bible is an output of some combination of history, tradition, and church councils, it can't be treated as superior to them.
