One UI 5.0 App drawer on Samsung Galaxy S21 still misses Vertical scrolling

Even though a larger number of users are asking Samsung for Vertical scrolling in the app drawer, the Korean company has been providing only Horizontal swipes to let you visit more apps. And, the same is the case with One UI 5.0 software. The company should at least offers users the ability to choose between Vertical and Horizontal.
