Some explanation that may be helpful…
There are many changes within iPadOS15 - of which, arguably, one of the most significant is the ability to place Widgets on any of the Home Screens; this impacts App and Folder icons.
Widgets placed on a Home Screen now individually occupy one, two or four adjacent elements of a 4x6 icon grid - in addition to the fixed dock at the bottom edge of the screen.
Home Screens without Widgets retain the familiar 5x6 icon grid (essentially as illustrated in your screenshot). Choosing Use Large App Icons in iPad Settings increases the relative size of the App icon within the available grid square. This feature does not expand the icons to fill the home screen
