The modern "app drawer" is an "ad drawer". The icons for the applications on iOS and Android are advertisements for them. They are intended to make you spend a long time looking for the application you actually want to run, get distracted, and run something else which will expose you to monetization opportunities.

It makes sense (cynically) for iOS and Android to refuse to organize their applications in a reasonable way automatically, as it makes money for them and their business associates.

On Android, when you go to the Google Play Store, the apps are organized by type, but not once installed. Curious, eh?

However, there is no reason for the Free Software environments to abuse their users in that way.
