> While it’s not a capability used by many Fire TV apps, without it, Fire TV apps can no longer perform certain advanced tasks, such as freeing up internal storage space by clearing the cache of all installed apps.
Maybe the article was edited? Because that seems to give the context required.
ADB is not one of those. This is the point, and this is the thing that anyone who is arguing against that point fails to recognize. It's myopia, or self-centered thinking. It leads to bad things in our industry (poor UX being one of them) and I'd encourage anyone thinking this way to consider what "empathy" means and how it is applicable to our field.
“There is a thing called ADB and it being removed means apps can’t clean caches any more” would in no way be helped by defining what ADB stands for.
