Yeah except Apple has been doing just fine with swift and proper app pausing for years.

~~Everything~~ App elements in android reset whenever you swap apps for more than a few minutes. Even all the default gapps do this. They can't seem to hold a context menu open or keep a page loaded when in the background because apparently these elements don't get saved.

I think the only thing on my phone that has stayed consistent is Firefox, and I can only assume it's because they hacked their way around this by having its own custom saved state since it's a browser.

We're not bottlenecked so hard for storage or memory anymore, there's really no need to keep enforcing this select feature saved state default.

Android already uses zram and yet OEMs are still shipping with an additional swap switch because these java apps eat an atrocious amount of memory.

I can load a fully decked out compiz desktop with a 3D transparent cube and every window animation imaginable and the ram stays at 1.6 GB. Yet android struggles to stay under 2 at idle on a 2d homescreen.
