The thing is apps in the "recently used" dont really run in the background, on Android
Yeah, my parents actually close all their apps regularly, whereas I have dozens of apps not doing anything in the background since it doesn't really make a difference.
Tons of FOSS apps doing crucial stuff use tricks, like displaying a permanent notification (which you can then mute) to stay awake.
Also, you need to manually set the battery restriction to "unrestricted" for apps, by pretting on the text in the 2 battery options, and setting it away from "optimized".
Androids memory management is crazy
I don't really believe anything my phone tells me about what apps are running. I think I'm quiting a music player and the interface disappears, but the music will keep playing. If it's slowing down, closing apps does nothing, but rebooting does.
