I understand the design principle but I would argue it's a bad implementation principle.

Engineering attention is finite. Why would you spend time thinking about 8 clicks when most people will only need ~3?

Not all user-action possibilities are equally important, and if they are, then you better have infinite resources to spend on engineering.

It's not really a question of how many taps they support, but how fast.

This same issue also seems like it would prevent you from quickly double-tapping the button to turn an image upside-down, a much more common use case.

Not prevent, just not provide very responsive feedback, right?

I don't know, I understand the principle, but I don't see how you can determine the value of a principle outside of a specific context.

Even for accessibility, we can't target every context in the name of being accessible. We still have to pick which contexts of inaccessibility we'll need to support with more attention.

Maybe I misread the article, but I think the Nothing photos app is literally ignoring the second tap, not just failing to provide feedback
