I get what you’re trying to say and it makes sense if you think of your phone as a tiny computer. An app should not be able to escape out of its window and app-level capabilities and it should be clear if an app is running or not.

I don’t share the same view, because I consider my iPhone an appliance. If my goal is to get to a place, I’ll let the appliance do anything and everything to get me there, including changing the UI or jumping out of my hand and leading the way.
