This is the same problem the multi-global everything dash search has on 
the desktop. People expect a dedicated tool to start applications that 
they have got on their device. Combining it with other stuff just causes 
random problems like the whole shopping lens thing. By all means keep 
the scope tool, but it would make much more sense to take application 
launching out of it's hands.

That way the dash of scopes becomes just a normal application that you 
can close like any other application. In the top bar you could have 
something to the left of the notifications that would  be for launching 
all the applications you have on your device.
