How about a function to create folder icons categories? If that were the case, my "books" screen would only have like 10 folder icons and X number of unsorted books on it instead of a million book covers.

Not sure what you are talking about... The Home screen on my Sage has 4 currently being read books and 3 books each in the My Books and Finished collection. About 0.001% of a million books. The Books view shows 5 books on the screen.
As for books folders? Given the search capability of a Kobo reader, let's not drag the functionality back to the 1970s with folders and a file browser. And when you tap on one of those folders? Do you see a few thousand books in the folder? A mass of subfolders? If you are truly in love with the idea of having a folder structure, you could always install KOReader or Plato on your KLC.
At one point in time from ~25 years ago, I did maintain my ebook library in a directory structure. Then I discovered calibre. It's sort and search capability was such a time saver compared to my old directory structured library. No more trying to figure out a directory structure that would allow me to easily locate a book with multiple authors. No more trying to fit series into a directory structure. No more wasting my time on maintaining a more and more complex structure.
Currently I have about 5500 books on my Sage and I can find any author, title, series, etc. with a minimal number of characters in the search screen.
Looking back at your previous message, most of the functions you seem to want are better served on a computer with more memory, storage space and CPU power compared to an ereader. You can screenshot but that would be the entire screen. Copy that to your computer and use the graphics program of your choice. Again your real web browser comes with a need for CPU and memory which better fits a computer than an eInk reader. Try looking at the memory use of a web browser (your choice of Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, etc.) on your computer which says on your Kobo ereader, you are going to need a lot more memory.
