What happened to DOCK, which gave me quick access to the 10 apps I selected and use most, in Watch OS 10? Also, how is pushing the side button easier or better than a quick swipe up to access the Control Panel?

So the swipe up gives you the apps, and pushing the Crown gives you the apps. Both give you the same function?
No.

It has been my observation that people are far too busy worrying about how weird they think they look to worry much about you. And besides, who cares if strangers think your odd? ;-)
Agreed. As someone who used my watch to monitor & manage chronic medical issues, I had everything I needed quickly accessible in the dock. I can no longer recommend the watch to others with similar health conditions. By the time I found the O2 sensor today it was minutes after I needed it & too late to capture the symptoms I was experiencing since I already sat and elevated my feet.

Just as you learned how to use the Watch before, you could learn to use it again. There have been lots of suggestions in this thread and others on how to make the best use of the new tools.
The developers aren’t the ones who decide which features get added or removed. That’s usually the Product Manager(s).
You are right. It's the Control Panel that's now with the side button. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, this too is very frustrating.
Yes, the Dock AND the left and right swipe feature for changing watch faces.
Yes but where is the ability to have the dock consist of favorite apps instead of recently used apps?
That has gone the way of the Dodo Bird.
I realized that the applications that I had in the Dock are now placed at the beginning of all applications shown when I press the Digital Crown.
Bring back the dock. Apple is running out of innovations. They are now shuffling the old ideas around hoping the newer folks don't notice it.
thanks for the tip. still a list of last used apps not the same as a list of preferred apps.
Thanks for this report!
That's great, but haven't figured out how to "and just put the apps I use the most at the top"
Thanks. Doesn’t help. Apps won’t move when wiggling.
Where is the dock in watchOS 10?
