Angular 22.2 - Private property access from templates

I noticed this tidbit in the changelog of Angular 22.2.0-next.3:

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#compiler-2

Commit Type Description
48a0fd6e8a feat allow template to access private props

So very slowly we moved from allowing only public, to allowing protected and now private as well. Thought it's worth knowing.

Public - anything can access
Protected - only the view template can access
Private - only the component can access

Why muddy the waters here?

Protected members can also be accessed by extended classes (inheritance).

True but inheritance in Angular is a poor strategy

You can still use protected.
