I think that reasoning applies more to the Windows 10-style single-lane alphabetized apps list. The purpose of a list of apps is to be functional, and practical - not interior decorating. Scrolling through one list is less practical and functional, takes more time, which means the act of searching for an application becomes more about searching for the application, and not quickly retrieving the application and launching it.
For power users with tons of programs, it is a cumbersome pain to be regularly engaging the alphabetized single-lane start menu.
Also, the lack of a filter box for the start menu in Windows 10 is a big deal for power users with tons of programs. The universal search app is slow, and retrieves all kinds of useless bloat that kills its efficiency.
Even though the presence of the start menu is a big feature of Windows 10, its particular reduced-efficiency implementation is also one of the biggest weaknesses of Windows 10, unfortunately.
