Why should it only be accessible to a select few??? Hai Teves is all about the library belonging to the chassidim, not a select few!

And who decides who that select few should be??

1) so we don’t have people walking off with seforim c”v
2) those parts of the library are off limits to most people but you can still access the seforim either by going to the reading room or online
3) Aguch is in charge of deciding who has access and the Rebbe appointed people to be in charge of aguch, so I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about

I wish your suggestion was practical

Nobody can walk off with any seforim if there is adequate security.
Ain Domeh Shmia L’riah. The effect of seeing for example the BESHT Siddur or any kesovim vechulu, not just online, would leave a profound impression. Concealing it from public view in the literal sense is not in the spirit of HEI TEVES or the Rebbe’s intention which was the seforim and kesovim belong to the chassidim and should be fully accessible in the literal sense to the chassidim, whatever security is required to facilitate that.

In a public Fabreng the Rebbe stated the library is to be available to scholars. No private library is open to the public. Way to costly.
Aguch (chaired by someone the Rebbe entrusted) had a diverse Lubavitch board, again, this setup was designed and endorsed by the Rebbe.
No one is accusing Rabbi Levin or his staff of walking off with seforim ch”v.
