I just got a Pro Max again after going with a 14 Pro the last time around. This was one of the first things I am really missing from the previous bigger phones. You used to always get an extra row of icons on the Plus/Max until iOS 16, when they added the search button/page “dots” above the dock. It really looks weird and such a waste of space on the bigger phones, especially if you have the search button turned off (which I always found redundant, since you can just drag down on the Home Screen to open the search).
