F4 on my Macbook Pro brings up Spotlight, not Launchpad.

But, bringing up Spotlight, clicking backspace, then clicking on the Applications icon brings you basically Launchpad.

They've mushed them together, but there seem to be three states: Spotlight with typing pre-filled, Spotlight bare with some additional icon options, and then Launchpad, which is more Spotlight than I remember it being.

Unless there's some weird setting, that's only in Tahoe. At the very least, it's only enforced in Tahoe; I was using F4 to bring up Launchpad in Sequoia, as I have in every version of MacOS for a long time.
