(although sometimes the official lego parts are made for them)
example (base part is original lego, electric connections are for PU):

or the FXtracks which fit the old 9V tracks...
Yes, I'm aware of that manufacturers, which are producing LEGO compatible addition parts, like «Brickmania®» (custom addition parts for scale model sets of military vehicles and custom minifigs).
But also, there are some small teams and individuals producing addition parts (3D-printed ready to ship, to be 3D-printed on demand, or to be printed by users itself). And there are addition parts for 3D-printing shared for free (including under CC BY).
I read the whole thread on Third Party parts inclusion into LDraw Library: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-21841.html
But yet, its unclear. It might be good to compile a "List of acceptible Third Party parts manufacturers" (as «Cobi» custom parts are blacklisted, and «S-Brick» custom parts are acceptible, need to know which else are blacklisted and acceptible).

What about Printabrick.com and similar homebrew individuals? Which producing (or produced in the past) in a small number by on demand 3D-printing.
