The need for a search bar in Instant App and Experience Builder Layer List so that users can find the layer they are interested in easily and they do not have to scroll through lots of layers on the webapp to find what they are after.  Apps can often include lots of layers and users will struggle to find what they want without this.

There are plans for there to be a filter option for the LayerList widget in the next version of the JavaScript SDK.  So it could be something that will be an option in Instant Apps as well, I'd suspect.
