The "+" button is completely unnecessary and just takes up a slot in the quick settings, which can result in an extra page or row. You can already achieve what it does through the "Edit buttons" option available through the three-dot menu.

If some people actually finds it useful you can just make it a separate toggle you can put anywhere in the panel like the others.

"+" button takes up unnecessary space and even adds an empty page just for it.

Extra row because of the useless button.

What it should look like instead.

I've got 5 "pages" of QS Tiles, so I never even noticed that the "+" was there. 

Sometimes a bit of redundancy is okay though.

I guess it's more noticeable when you've only got one panel since there shouldn't be the dots indicator at the bottom indicating which one you're on.

Redundancy can sometimes be good like the "looking for something else" suggestions in the Settings app but that isn't very obvious. It's hidden all the way at the bottom of the page and is only there when it's in a way related to what you're currently looking through. And in this case it does much more than literally just saving you one extra tap.

Yeah I get what you're saying, and there'd pma be a bunch of people unhappy if Samsung removed the "+" Can't please everyone, unfortunately.

The way I see it is that it's something you edit less and less as you get accustomed to the OS but you can't please everyone like you said so that's why I mentioned "...at least allow hiding" in the title.

It's even worse for people with one or two completed rows.Screenshot_20220927-222902_Samsung Members.jpgScreenshot_20220927-222919_Samsung Members.jpg
