Applications don't need to know anything about SELinux in order to be under its purview. Only applications that need to interact with SELinux in some way need to know about it. I can easily write a program that tries to open a forbidden resource and SELinux can most easily prevent it despite that my application only #includes stdio.h and knows nothing of the hidden hand that blocks it.
