GitHub apps are slightly different than OAuth Apps.

GitHub Apps are per-repository "integrations" that don't perform actions on behalf of a specific user and are installed directly to a repo (with fine-grained permissions).

OAuth Apps are the classic "integrations" installed by a specific user and perform actions on behalf of that user.

I imagine they have lower requirements because they are new, more specialized, and likely to be installed a little less.
