How do I get rid of the folders in the app drawer?

The apps reorder themselves making it hard to memorize where they should be. I would love a default alphabetical list instead of the odd preorganized/precatagorized view that is hard for me to navigate.

iPad mini 6, iPadOS 15

So, recommend to Apple that they make this an option. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on something, the more they will know what their customers prefer, and what to include in updates to come.
