Does anyone know of a good replacement launcher that supports Private Space?

I've been very Happy with Kvaesito which supports private space, but it's not a typical launcher format

Why would anyone give Nova launcher internet access to begin with?

What's the appeal of all these alternative launchers? Stock launcher works fine and I've never felt like anything was missing. I'm a poweruser on PC but I can hardly think of anything I'd want to do with a phone along poweruser lines.

What's nova launcher? All I can find is a seemingly proprietary Android launcher with a Twitter as only social media. Doesn't scream FOSS to me.
