Can we customize the UI of Creative Cloud Desktop app

Posted this in the CC services community but adding here in the vain hope that anyone at Adobe sees it:

It’d be cool if us lowly users had the ability to customize the home screen, even just a little. In 10+ years of using Adobe apps, I’ve never once clicked anything in these sections, nor will I ever; they’re taking up 90% of the screen. What’s especially funny is that once you disable showing recent files in settings, it still just shows that side panel albeit with yet another prompt to try Firefly…

Probably even an even more unlikely wish is that opening any Adobe app did not also spin up 12 background processes, all of which continue running indefinitely unless force quit.
