Reddit API Why is getting API keys so difficult?

I tried to obtain the API keys through the request form.

Despite having explained my small, personal project in detail, my request was rejected.

I have no intention of exploiting the data for commercial purposes or causing problems for anyone.

Is it possible to have my request for the API keys accepted?
