** Summary
I don't think this is a bug, but I agree that there should be a better

on some monitors the icons are massive, and on others, they should
easily have more rows/columns.
I fixed this by installing the 'App Grid Tweaks' app:

Title:
Going back to low resolution 1080p 100dpi, it actually looks decent
there, notice the spacing actually looks sane and there aren't huge
areas of wasted space like at 4K.
So it looks like they only really considered 1080p 100dpi and just
blissfully ignored all other use cases.
** Attachment
I'm using my monitor in portrait mode, but it still looks silly even in
normal landscape mode due to it being limited to only 8x3.

It also doesn't look any better on Gnome 40, which Ubuntu doesn't use
yet.
