How often do you find yourself adjusting an app’s settings within the settings app? Most of the apps I use have barely anything in there and instead opt for having a settings page within the app itself

To change notification settings or permissions for those apps. You have to go to settings and scroll/search to get to the app’s system settings. If they had an App Settings option in the long press menu, it could take you directly to that screen.

Deciding what elements show in that long press menu is up to the app’s developers themselves

Most are not gonna do that and i don’t think devs can invoke the system settings from those shortcuts. They likely only allow you to trigger intents for your own app- but I could be wrong.
This would be useful for example, bc you could quickly toggle permissions for apps or turn notifications on/off for those apps. This is also in line with iOS behavior in other situations. For example if you swipe to “options” from a notification, all the menus that pop up there include a “view settings” option. Should work the same way on the Home Screen, that just takes you to that app’s system settings page.

That’s it’s own problem too. Or apps getting to determine whether or not you have a way to delete their cached data instead of that being a system-wide ability like it ought to be

Enough that they want the feature, obviously.
