It's sloooowly coming back to me why I set the port to 55555 so many years
ago that I had forgotten that I had figured out how to change adb's port
even though 5037 is hard coded (at the time, I think 5555 was hard coded).

When Android 10 or 11 (around then sort of) came out, it allowed us to run
adb over Wi-Fi but the damn port was dynamic so I was valiantly trying to
find a way to be able to lock the Wi-Fi port to be static so that I didn't
have to look at the phone every time I wanted to connect adb over Wi-Fi.

That's almost certainly why I set that environment variable.
It's slowly coming back to me now.

It's rare that I fail at anything (very rare in fact), but I did fail at
setting the port that adb uses over Wi-Fi to be static.

But I had forgotten all about that failed quest.
Sigh. I think I'm getting old.....
