This is false. After the authorization-related firmware changes last year LAN mode doesn't allow 3rd party slicers to connect.
LAN mode is also abandonware with numerous issues and missing features that they've had no interest in fixing. Orca slicer has had to rely on hacky workarounds in Bambu's buggy networking plugin just to be able to connect to printers in a different subnet.

You either haven't updated the firmware or you also enabled "Developer mode" which has its own issues.

It's not a separate issue, it's a long-standing bug in their proprietary networking plugin that they refuse to fix. Orca slicer has implemented a hacky workaround so it actually works there.

I guess my printer must be magic then because I can use Orca over LAN with the printer in lan mode just fine

So if my printer isn’t working because their network is down, it’ll swap to lan mode for a seamless experience? No? Huh.
