New Sharepoint Quick Access - Want "Sites" back

I want the Sites back on my quick access menu - I don't want to have to go through "Discover" it just adds an obnoxious extra step and I can get there clicking on the Sharepoint logo on the top left - having another button to take you to the hub is pointless. How do I get Sites back on the quick access?

    What a horrible update. Bookmarking it is is the same issue. I want to be able to navigate to any of the sites from any other site on our Sharepoint -  not to have to navigate to an intermediary site - it just adds an obnoxious, unnecessary, extra step. The fact that it isn't even an option anymore is nonsense. Let me guess you want to force users to use AI that is incorporated into the "discover" section. Wasting everyone's time and precious resources through more BS AI nonsense.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring back the ‘Sites’ option in the Quick Access menu. Microsoft has introduced a new SharePoint experience (Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365) Roadmap ID: 547732 where ‘Sites’ has been replaced by the ‘Discover’ section as part of a redesigned navigation. This change is controlled by Microsoft and cannot be customized or reverted.

    As a workaround, you can bookmark the SharePoint Home (Sites) -

    https://YOURTENANT.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx/discover/sites/recent page or pin frequently used sites for quicker access.
