It's a completely bug-ridden piece of crap that has not been updated in six years.
It has known bugs that have people ripping out their hair.
It "forgets" to update activation.xml when you copy over an EPUB book to an attached device.
The hacked solution is to copy over a DRM PDF book.
I go to OverDrive, select "Advanced Search", select "PDF book", sort by popularity, go to the last page and select one of the least popular PDF books.
I just had to do that.

6 years? Last update to ADE (4.5.11) was in April 2020. Are we talking dog years?
As for needing to update activation.xml? I'm still using a copy of activation.xml from my Kobo Touch. Copying it from one ereader to the next saves me from having to call Adobe to get more activations when I add to my ereader collection. I've never had an issue with reading DRMed epubs when I copy them over from ADE that could be blamed on an outdated activation.xml. I admit that I am using an antique Adobe ID since the company that issued the email address I use hasn't existed for well over a decade.
Admittedly this is on Kobo ereaders. B&N ereaders may be different but then they are useless to me in any event.
Your rants are amusing though.
