Sorry I know is not an ADB flaw, I just failed to express my self!!!

Thanks for pointing it out... I will edit the article and fix it.

Regarding ADB privileges for what I understand from Kevin Beaumont article, once you connect over tcp port 5555 you have full admin/root privileges, not a limited set of privileges.

That is not exact.
You have root rights if the user is not using a supplier (Samsung, Sony, etc...) Android OS image.
If the device is rooted then you can indeed have root privileges.
