People who have plenty of hobbies/jobs that requires many apps. I have a shit ton of art, music, and sim racing apps I use quite often, and are organized into 3 columns. Having that shit in a single line on my taskbar would be a nightmare.

searching for apps is a good alternative, I myself find searching for stuff to be faster than looking for an icon on the desktop

windows search is.. pretty bad tho so you're gonna have to look for alternatives, some recommendations are the search bar in the Microsoft powertoys and flow launcher with 'everything' installed
