For most people, a more viable workaround is to pick up an "ARC audio extractor" box which supports CEC. This will connect to the TV over HDMI and turn the audio-out from the TV into an analog audio signal that can be fed into the soundbar's AUX input. The CEC support means the audio level will adjust when you use the TV's remote control.

1) if your TV supports applying "soft" volume control over optical, which as discussed is not universally supported and comes with quality trade-offs. Many devices will only output a fixed level volume over optical
2) if your remote (or soundbar itself) has some IR learn functionality so that the remote can directly control the soundbar volume
You may have gotten lucky in one of these departments, but it's not a broadly workable solution.
As I mentioned, "if your remote […] has some IR learn functionality […] the remote can directly control the soundbar volume." Fire TV does have IR-based universal remote functionality to control soundbars—so yes, I agree, this may work fine if only using Fire TV.
The issue is that not every source device will offer this functionality. For example, when using my Sony smart TV, I can control an external audio receiver or soundbar connected via HDMI using the TV's factory remote, since this is done over HDMI CEC. But the factory remote does not have any IR learn function, so it can't control the volume on a TOSLINK-connected soundbar.
