Much more of the standard library could have been available for lower-level use. There could have been a collections and io library usable without those design decisions, etc. It was a very explicit design decision to have such lackluster low-level stdlib and ecosystem support.

They do it though, because they literally get killed when you rotate the screen, change locale, etc. so they don't have much choice. On Android, the app being told to save state and then being killed at any time isn't exceptional but rather the regular way things happen.

The way they handle killing apps in the background is literally the same process that happens when you simply rotate the screen. It asks the active activity to save a bundle (i.e. state of the view, unsaved data) and then passes it to the activity again when it's restored.

Aha, that’s why I’m regularly losing what I wrote in whatever app on Android! Indeed great user experience…
