Is there A/B Testing going on in Office 365?

I am not aware of any A/B Testing outside of Yammer. More like a partial rollout of new features or premature release of a feature (or just a glitch), that will go back to normal after a few days perhaps, especially in a FR tenant.

Incidentally, we know the app launcher is getting a makeover and this also may affect the homepage with a new App Gallery option for example.

I wasn't aware of any A/B testing either. But this marks the second time in the last year, that this specific user a different UI item on the Portal than the rest, even though we're set to full tenant FR.
Yes, the text does say "show more apps" and then the regular tiles are back.
About the "app launcher" note, I don't think it's that. Isn't the AppLauncher just the top left menu that is activated upon click?

True, though this new App Gallery will be accessible via the app launcher and Office 365 Homepage.
