They're not accommodating food choices in several park locations right now.You bring up a good point I hadn't considered. Up to now Disney had been known for doing a good job of accommodating food issues but now it sounds like a mess.
In the early days of mobile order I would sometimes choose to order at the register instead because my weird issues were not allowed for in the app. It was nice to have a chef pop over to answer any questions. I don't know if they can change the app to let you customize or request, but they most likely don't see any reason to.
I wanted to try a seasonal hot dog at Refreshment Corner a few weeks ago but wanted them to leave off the fried onions on top. They refused. No accommodations said the CM. Take it as is or leave it. I left it.
At the festival holiday booth this past weekend I asked for them to leave the horseradish sauce off the top of the beef sandwich. No modifications said the CM. You have to take it as is or leave it. I left it. Which was really disappointing as this was one of my fave dishes at the festival the past few years and they never had a problem in previous years not putting something on top. Until now.
Note: both of the above requests were made in person/walkup line NOT via the mobile order app. They simply refused to leave a topping off the dish they were preparing when I verbally asked them to. The lines were 2-3 other people at most waiting ahead of me in both cases as I try to get food at off hours, so in neither instance were they slammed where they didn't have time to stop their food prep line and change something. They just point blank wouldn't do it.
I've faced this in a couple of different spots since the parks reopened. They simply refuse to make any changes in a lot of places. And I'm talking just "please leave off a topping" not "please cook this dish differently without certain ingredients". This isn't everywhere as some places adjusted a dish without any hesitation. But it's multiple spots. And it's really frustrating.
