For the App Library- is it possible to rename the folders and move the apps around to other squares?

No I think the whole idea is that it’s completely automated. If you want to have manual folders then you can still do that the original/existing way.

the library is utilising the categories for the app picked by the developer. Developers pick a primary and secondary category, and those are what dictates what category the app falls in in the App Library. Apple has merged some of the categories so there are not too many folders though Beta 4/5. For example productivity and violence, creativity, entertainment are a group of similar themed categories.

See... this is one of a number of reasons why I hate the App Library. It's set up the way someone else internalizes things - not the way I internalize things. At least I was able to turn off the suggestions.

I also deleted every widget that was pre-installed. I simply don't need and don't want them. I can get to the apps on my home screen just as quickly and I know where they are. Apple and its fanboys keep talking about how great it will be the clean up all those messy, disorganized home screens. My home creen isn't disorganized to me.

The problem is this: I pay nearly a thousand dollars for a phone then have to change the way I think to meet the demands of the device? Just who is serving who here?

Just don't use the App Library function, and make your own folders and stick them on a home screen that you hide? I think y'all are overthinking this.

You can still use your phone the way you used it before.

Yes, I'm aware of that. And I will ignore the App Library. But it's mere existence ticks me off. Apple should always allow us to deactivate "features" like this completely. But they build their devices for a certain kind of user and want us all to think the same way. That's what ticks me off.

But that hasn't been the case with many things like that for many years, so it's certainly nothing new, surprising, or outrageous really. The Today View screen is one example of that. It seems somewhat odd to find something like that as something somehow suddenly outrageous enough to practically question almost everything about the device and Apple in general, when it's been pretty much an established practice for many features and functionalities for a long time now.
