You value real-estate on your home screen less than in your bookmarks?

It’s more that the number of sites I’d add to my home screen has a hard upper bound that’s not high, management is easy, and if I want one without it being on the home screen I can send it to the app library instead, where it’ll surface with a search.

Bookmarks on the other hand are unbounded and suck to manage (no browser has improved meaningfully in this realm in ~20 years for some reason) so the threshold for what gets bookmarked is higher.

I search for installed apps on my phone quite regularly. It's often faster than remembering where the hell it is in my folders on screen.
It's a spectrum.

Some things are important enough for a bookmark, others are important enough for home screen.

It just feels a bit of an edgecase to imagine that a menu of a specific restaurant is important enough to occupy a spot in the top 20-25 of your digital real estate.
What about a movie theater?
