How do I get rid of this hidden app folder in the App Library. It’s so suspicious and unnecessary. I don’t want this on my phone and I feel like apple is encouraging a culture where people lie hide and cheat. Help me remove this.

This folder cannot be removed, but that may change in the future if apple decides to update based on feedback posted via https://feedback.apple.com. Since this is just a community discussion thread, this answer is the most any of us random folk can do for you or others with the same problem. Please do send feedback to apple on the issue. If it becomes a big enough request, they might actually make a change.

I find this very intrusive considering it uses Face ID to open it, but there’s nothing there. It makes it look like AI is trying to spy on you.
is there anyway to shut it off?
I don’t care for how it randomly chooses which apps to hide! I need ALL my apps and folders to be seen in my library
