How to bring the Launchpad back in macOS Tahoe????

I really hate this new apps layout. Scrolling through tiny icons just to find an app is such a pain! Why did Apple even change it? Someone suggested using Spotlight search, but that’s not the point—my apps used to be neatly organized in folders the way I wanted. Apple, bring back Launchpad! I want my apps grouped in folders again.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0
