The shell is the GUI, it's what you're using right now to view that setting. If you were to turn that setting off I presume you wouldn't be able to turn it back on because the shell would no longer have permission to turn on... the shell.
Every single Android TV device (running 9+; that special permissions panel wasnt a thing before that) has the same; including Shield and "Chromecast with Google TV".
The shell is what you see and interact with on your TV aka GUI - Graphical User Interface.
Can you share the navigation. I can check on my Sony tv
Lmao this sub is hilarious.
Interesting.
Shell provides debugging functions such as bug reporting & heap collecting, as well as adb screenshotting. these all used to be part of Settings but they were split out into a separate app a few years ago, probably for security.
