We need to get this feature “liked” a lot, so it moves up their schedule.
To alter the paradigm slightly, I actually use https://pinboard.in to store the URLs to my frequently used apps (I have an “Anvil” tag), and I leave that page open on a pinned tab. You could also use the bookmark panel of your browser if you always use the same one/machine (I don’t).
But folders for apps would be preferable for sure.
