Is the OfBiz Backend UI intended to be used directly or just a fallback?

Question

I am currently evaluating OfBiz as a customisable ERP solution for an IT business. It seems to be all powerful and stuff and brings a lot to the table. But once it is started and I login to the backend, I feel overwhelmed by the UI the click flow and how everything is presented in a somehow chaotic way. Is the UI designed as administrative fallback and one would usually develop a more approachable app with just the fields needed for a specific use case? Would one merely use OfBiz as dunno, a headless server providing backend services to SPA clients or e.g. some server-side page renderer? Am I missing a point?

That's what most OFBiz service providers do. It's not a simple task.

That's another option and I think some service providers do that after the "recent" (1+ year) REST put in
