   I know, and I appreciate that I can replace the launcher. I'm just baffled by the way it's done by default. Most users would prefer the way it works on iPhone. I think Android phones just just have a default launcher that works exactly like that: just an app drawer that is organized however you want it, and if other want something more customisable they can download advanced launchers.

     "Why would you have a desktop *and* a start menu?!?!?!"

     Apps adding themselves to the home screen on install is configurable, and I believe Samsung, the most popular Android manufacturer by a hilariously wide margin, doesn't do that by default. The app drawer is also alphabetized by default, if I recall.

     With all of the control means the onus to take that control because Android does not exist to hold your hand like iToddlers need.
