The problem is that nothing is self-evident. An app that sends remote notifications to notify you of an e-mail looks exactly the same as one that locally generates a notification as a result of background processing. But the former will work after being swiped away from the app switcher and the latter won't.

I just don't think it's reasonable to expect the average use to "get" that.

I agree the users shouldn’t be the ones worrying about the subtlties. It’s we developers.
