Why is the habit of closing iPhone apps so popular?

Closing iPhone Apps - Many iPhone users are accustomed to closing apps by swiping up on the multitasking screen, thinking that this will save battery and make the device run faster. This makes sense in layman's terms: fewer active apps means less power used. Unfortunately, in the context of the iOS operating system, this assumption is wrong. Faulty Logic: Users believe that apps visible in the multitasking screen are still "running" and consuming power. Users don't understand how the resource management system in iOS works. In fact, Apple has designed iOS to manage apps automatically without requiring user intervention. Apps that are not currently active are suspended, so they do not consume excessive power or device resources. Apple's explanation: What Actually Happens When Closing an iPhone App? In its official forum, Apple explains that closing iPhone apps should [...]
