> ADB is an acronym. Not everyone knows what it means
I've used ADB a half-hundred times, and I had no idea what it meant until I read replies to your comment. Defining the acronym is likely not helpful to anyone who has used it before (and thus be affected by the change)
If I recall, the article seemed to indicate that certain apps would be broken. I would be worried that apps I relied on would not function anymore. This has nothing to do with me using ADB, it has to do with apps using it (at least from how I read the article).
You use adb, you have a mental model for it. It does something because you make it do that thing and see it happen. You must be able to put yourself into the shoes of a person that isn't you and doesn't have that experience to recognize what I'm saying. Note: many developers not being able to or choosing not to do this is the source of most of the bad UX that is inflicted upon us today.
To each their own, but your response baffled me. If you've used ADB a half hundred times, weren't you ever curious what it stood for? I can't even use acronyms without knowing what they mean - it's always the first thing I look up, primarily because it helps me really remember and understand what the topic is about. Sure, the acronym soon takes on an "atomic unit of meaning" in my head, but especially for something like "Android Debug Bridge", which pretty perfectly describes the tool, knowing the original meaning still often enhances my understanding.
I think it depends on people. I've used adb and it was vaguely related to debugger acronyms so I assumed it would be debugger something. It does not matter to me what the exact name is.
I use a SOAR and never know what this is for (the name, not the product :)). Idem for the plethora of acronyms we use in France they expand to weird words.
Do not even get me started about the acronyms in my company, I have up completely and use them randomly. The fact that it usually does not bother anyone shows their importance :)
I generally wasn't consciously aware that it even was an acronym. For me adb was just a command like cat. I don't randomly ask myself what cat stands for, or all the other obtuse commands I use on the command line. Life is too short.
