macOS customizable Desktop view on iPadOs, instead of the "Launchpad" Home Screen?

[lillo9546]

What about having a customizable Desktop view like MacOs on the IpadOS, instead of only an "app launcher" that locks us to have only app on the desktop?
I would like to add folders, drag my files everywhere, have drives listed.. What about you? Cant we just swipe with 4 fingers to get into the app launcher?

The iPad is an App first experience, rather than a filesystem based experience, like macOS. You cant do anything without an app, so what would be the point of any other homescreen style? I do wish for changes too, but also - how I understand the inherent differences between to two os’ means that I look at ipados with different eyes to my macOS.
