 @dlh:

 > In that sense, methods for refreshing `oembed_cache` posts after saving
 changes on `widgets.php` or `customize.php` might be preferable.

 This is a challenge. While this could maybe align with user expectations
 for embeds in widgets specifically, it wouldn't then help with using
 embeds in TinyMCE outside of the widget context. For example, if I add a
 TinyMCE editor to the user profile screen and I want to drop an embed in
 there, we wouldn't be able to reliably know when to refresh the oEmbed
 other than there also attempt to manually add a refresh when user updated
 action fires. So I think it is useful to piggyback on the `parse-embed`
 request to also refresh the cache.
