Apparently NOT from what I am reading here.....
Must be new policy
At one point a couple years ago, I was rejected on a Citi app for "having too many Citi credit cards". They added all of their products up, even citi-managed gas/store card accounts (Goodyear, Phillipps 66, Hilton, etc) and it was like 8 at the time. So I closed some of them, they were never used and had decreased low CLs anyway from lack of use. I don't worry about average account age, I'm an old fart.
