Alpha adjust useless in Pr 26

I used to make multiple masks with this simple effect - you just use it’s opacity parameter and make as many masks as needed. What is more important, an Alpha adjust mask was independent - you could isolate an object with it and add Drop shadow, Glow, Stroke as a second effect and this effect completely ignored the fact that there is a mask and it’s not the object which is somehow rounded.

Now I move the new 26.0.2 mask data on the Alpha adjust and nothing happens. The effect does not know how to use that data. With that there is no way to use any layer “edge” effects (stroke, glow,  shadow, volumetric rays, roughen edges and so on) without nesting. And everybody hates nesting because it gives you one new layer which even doesn’t inherit the layer name and cannot be unnested if else.

So… Adobe, please do something good about it.
