Short answer: Show in Dock keeps a Storage Studio icon in your Dock that opens the All Apps grid when clicked — a quick way to launch any app. Turn the switch off to remove it.
Show in Dock keeps a Storage Studio icon in your Dock. Clicking that icon reopens the All Apps grid, so it becomes a quick, Spotlight-style way to launch anything.
The switch sits at the top-right of the Apps window. Storage Studio otherwise lives only in the menu bar, so turning this off removes the Dock icon again — see removing it from the Dock.
