This is a problem on low memory devices - the page gets forced to refresh because the system ran out of RAM. The iPhone 13 only has 4GB of RAM, and with many apps requiring 2+GB, it is frequent a web page can't stay loaded in the background.

Most android devices have 8GB plus RAM, so shouldn't hit that issue, although it still happens on very low end devices.

They can take my iPhone 7 and its 2GB of RAM over its dead body.
