I asked similar questions in the thread I linked, and what I read from Ledger is that they want to keep S&X model equivalent in functionality, but this must of course be to the detriment of storage in the Nano S. Size of storage for apps is now 4kb smaller, and that is one of the advantages that the Nano X has. If Ledger continues to provide firmware support for Nano S, it will probably be possible to have max 1-2 apps at the same time.

Unfortunately, it's a difficult trade-off. On the one hand. we'd like to keep the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S equivalent in functionality, on the other hand, this will come at the expense of app capacity on the Ledger Nano S. For this update, we are happy it's only 4 kb considering the changes that were made.
