Does CentOS changed the package management? :-)
Quite.
This is not an Ubuntu dig, but when I challenge some of the users about the more dangerous sudo's they try, inevitably they say they got the command from the net, and by that they usually mean Ubuntu forums.
Whether the instructions come from the Ubuntu forums or not, we regularly experience the same thing: users unthinkingly following instructions in a REAME or posted on a web page. My experience suggests these folks are just on autopilot.
Sadly, people became zombies. The ability to categorize (hence use the menu) is wiped completely. Even the majority of "modern" Desktop Environment interfaces expect you to search for what you need instead of giving the menu: everything arranged by category. That's why I switched to MATE quite a while ago. I guess, I didn't blend in into iPad generation...

Both GNOME and KDE Plasma offer you a menu of applications by category, if that is what you want. I don't see the problem.
