They will manage it but it still use the maximum allowed if you don't switch on battery saver.

But then it's kinda therapeutic when you hit that close all button.

I've trained everyone in my personal support range to restart their phones and tablets weekly. Flushes out all the apps and noticeably reduces complaints and questions from the users.

That's very helpful tip, phone these day is very complicated that even necessary app tend to have bugs, restart help prevent those bug from surface.

My phone still keeps apps open after a restart, idk how. Maybe it catches them somehow?

There is a difference between running in the background and being in memory.

Recent Apps may or may not be in memory, that's why when you switch to a "recent" app not used in a while it restarts anyway instead of continuing where you left it, it's effectively just a bookmark to a closed app. So the list being long doesn't mean these apps are using memory.

While running in the background is unrelated, apps can run in the background regardless if they are in the Recents list or not. And it can absolutely cause issues or excessive battery usage, but clearing the Recents list is not the solution.
