That’s not what they’re complaining about. We liked that we could select a small set of apps to view instead of seeing things like Stocks and App Store that never get used.
Tell Apple what you'd like to see:
Product Feedback - Apple
If you use the Grid view for you apps, you can arrange them so that your favorites are in the middle of the screen where you will see them first. You can also take a look at the Smart Stack. It is not exactly like the Dock. It's more like Glances, which preceeded the Dock. You may find it useful.
It's also useful to keep in mind that, just because you don't use Stock or the App Store, that doesn't mean that they aren't used by lots of other people. Not everyone has the same needs or presences that you do.
