Hi Peter, thanks for your continued support. Happy to share our main use case, which is account selection in internal web tools—we are a mid-sized agency and currently manage about 800 Google Ads accounts distributed over around 100 manager accounts in a hierarchy around 3 to 4 levels deep on average. In order to select the proper Ads account on which to run a specific job in such a tool (they're mostly of the housekeeping and quality assurance type), we've experienced that it's easier for account managers to be able to follow the hierarchy of manager accounts in a tree-like view down to the desired account instead of selecting it from a rather large list directly. In the Adwords API, implementing such a tree view is simple as it can be done with a single call in the app's backend. While migrating one of our tools to the Ads API, we discovered that we'd now have to do around a hundred calls to get to the same result—which slows down the loading of the tree view significantly, frustrating our users.
I hope this gives some context for a feature request. Feel free to reach out if you need more details.
