Given that this is named "Fleet API", I'd wager that its pointed at corporations that own a bunch of Teslas for employee use, or for companies looking to start a Tesla based rental car company more than anything.

It's named "Fleet API", because Tesla refers to the Teslas out there as "fleet".
I have no idea what you think your comment has to do with my question, but ok?
I think they’re predicting that most of the API usage will be “private”, so you won’t see Direct-To-Consumer “Download this on your Tesla” apps.

Instead, your rental or motor pool Tesla will just have a few customizations.

Companies probably get approved.
