Absolutely. Just looking at my wife, an office worker. Even when not working with whichever of 5 huge Excel files she has open, she is talking on Teams while working in a permanently open Outlook. Add a variety of internal sites which she constantly peruses. She just cannot have each single application taking the whole screen at a time.

Even if we ignore that most people who work on PC use multiple applications at the same time, at least in my experience also most office workers use at least 2 displays, plus the in-built laptop screen. Not sure if Android can handle 3 screens with each showing at least 2 applications by average.

Currently visible for me are 9 applications on 3 screens. Sure, I could minimize or close some of them (Keepass is not that important all the time), but I appreciate the convenience of having a lot of space.
