I can give a bit of input on this. I'm 19, entered the fandom when I was 11 and been an ABDL since I was 15, I trooned out about a year ago and started HRT about 2 or so months ago. I despise other troons with such a fucking passion for their lack of inability to debate or have a meaningful conversation, their entire identity revolves around only one aspect of themselves which is horrifying and shows how narrow-minded they are. I am trans by identity, NOT by community. Should give context, I'm non-binary, not a transfem hon.
But to answer this, it's actually the opposite for many people. ABDL is commonly seen by internet-addicted hons as a 'comfy' fetish in a way. Gonna get a bit graphic here but since starting HRT, my sexual libido has dropped to almost nothing, same as many other people on HRT. They need much greater sensory arousal compared to a typical hand/blowjob and this is why ABDL is so attractive to them because you literally have a wet cloth pressing against all of your most sensitive bits, and for many this gives them the sensory arousal needed to get erect.
Just wanted to give my 2 cents as somebody who has experience with both circles
