Aren’t it simply more common for apps to go into a “save state and basically exit” mode, from which they are expected to recover without any fuss? Like, ios is very aggressive in “killing” background apps, and since this is the general consensus, apps just behave nicely the majority of time.

Also on Android there are explicit guidelines that processes have to be prepared to be paused, hibernated, or killed at any time. Data in memory is not safe in any way.
