I'd be interested to see whether this comes with a replacement for legitimate use cases. Removing a capability without offering an alternative tends to push developers toward even more fragile or in some cases "rule breaking" workarounds

The On-Device ADB work-arounds and a lot of open-source apps related to it are already in that fragile workarounds "zone".

For most, this is the last resort / only way possible. As AOSP refuse to add secure permission or services to allow third-party application to do specific actions.

If this get fixed, it will be the end of thoses project on-device for non-rooted ROMs. Sure, you could still run it via a computer, or to be far fetched, start Shizuku via a computer. But that's no longer "on-device". It kill a lot of usages, including developers who need it "on-the-fly".
