When it comes to technology, multi-tasking is completely different.
For iOS, some "multi-tasking" features include "switch between apps by double clicking the home button and selecting a recent app", and split view.
Windows considers "window snapping" to be a multi-tasking feature.
As we all know, multi-tasking isn't really thinking about two things at the same time, it's switching between those two things very rapidly. When it comes to technology, you can hardcore multi-task by having 5 video chats going while watching a youtube tutorial and writing your grocery list (which is more along the lines of the study you linked), or else you "multi-task" by having plenty of windows open in a larger viewing area to lessen the need to constantly switch between apps.
e.g. As a web developer, I would not be productive without switching between code, terminal, and chrome.
This is an issue of semantics. What the studies above are referring to are humans attempting to take on multiple tasks at once. The product pitch is referring to the machine accomplishing multiple tasks at once.
