It's FLOTUS. The WH has nothing to worry about.

I was pretty sympathetic to the complaint about restricting access but then I started reading and the first example they mentioned was restriction imposed on photographers during the Dalai Lama's visit.

Is there more than this? I stopped reading after that because it's late. But some President's wouldn't even meet with the Dalai Lama as I recall. And I can understand in that particular case why they might be restrictive.

All presidents starting with G.H.W. Bush have met with him.

Yes, and before GHW no Presidents met with him. And when GHW met with him, no photographers.
