what do people use this for? While I was really excited when i encountered it, I didn't find any practical uses.
I'm using this almost daily for various open source work. It has my vim setup, tmux, node, and git. Primary usage is via Samsung DeX so I have multiple windows and a proper mechanical keyboard.

Does someone know if it is possible to use it on a FireTV Stick (without root)?
If you want to root the device for fun, I wrote a little tutorial post a few months ago https://miguelmota.com/blog/rooting-a-fire-tv-stick-4k/
Termux has recently run into issues with Android 10 and the more recent APIs, which break its form of package management. Their workaround is fairly clever (although not yet implemented) but means that updates to the Play Store version have been temporarily put on hold. https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Termux-and-An...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Literally from your own quote... >its CPU performance and its video processing capability are those of a low-spec phone from several years ago That's enough for me to decide the experience isn't on par with a flagship Android or iPhone - but that's not what it's trying to be. This isn't trying to be a phone - it's trying to be a mobile linux PC that you can also use as a phone and has the same form factor.
Yes, this is all true. I did not try to say you were wrong. But I'm curious, what are you going to do with it? Why do you need the high-end performance? (It can even run 3D games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_HXQJkWjUQ )
Having a high end CPU isn't just for performance right now, my main concern would be longevity of the device.

Things that don't rise to the level of deserving an app, but are nice to have.

I hate the direction Google is taking Android. They're on an appliance-ification quest trying to hide any exposed linux-ness of the OS, including trying to remove developer access to all file handles. They always claim it's in the name of security but my suspicion is that it's an effort to transition from Linux to Fuchsia.
