How to remove App Library & Home Screen Page Categories ?

I don't think the apps are duplicated... I know it's just like a "short ***" to an app/folder to the desktop in a PC. So the app is not duplicated, there is only one actual program installed... but wouldn't it be better to give the user the option to put the program/app directly to the home page (desktop)?

It's your right to ask if it would be better. I don't think it would be. I'd be willing to bet Lawrence, doesn't think it would be. So we have two votes to keep the library and one vote to let you delete it, which really doesn't make any difference. You see, we aren't Apple. We don't work for Apple and we can't give you what you'd like to see. It's not very likely Apple will give you what you want. But you can certainly provide Apple your thoughts on this here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

I never quite understand why the App Library is an issue? It's not like you have to use it. You in fact, have to swipe to the very last page to even get to it. Wouldn't be easier to just ignore it if you have no use for it?

The App Library has been there for several years, and isn’t going away. But you will never see it unless you scroll the Home screen past your last populated page. You will see its real value when you either forget where you put an app or if you accidentally delete its icon from your Home screen.

I have over 300 apps, and couldn’t do without it.

In addition to what Lawrence pointed out, which is correct, if you were thinking your apps are duplicated, they aren't. You only have one of each app, even if they are listed in the App Library. It does make it easy to find an app, if like Lawrence and me, you have hundreds of apps.

Perhaps you don’t know how to rearrange apps on the pages of the Home Screen itself. You can put icons where you want them, put related apps into folders, even have the same app icon on multiple pages. Search for Home Screen in the manual.
