This is nonsense, at least on iOS. Apps get killed due to total system memory usage, not for power -- they only get suspended to save power.

iOS doesn't have aggressive background task killing except for memory pressure. It suspends apps for battery life; it only kills them under memory constraints. If you don't want apps dying and tabs closing, use apps that use less memory. iOS does not have swap out of a desire to avoid unnecessary NAND wear (and to avoid the performance impact), so it must more aggressively kill things.

"easily" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Depending on the good and what they switch to making, this may neither be easy nor quick.

what is with people who are convinced everything is written by ai with no evidence lately?

Absolutely in competitive games, or even in MMOs against rival guilds.
