The issue with the recent apps cards is not just that they pile up and are a pain to navigate, but that they compromise privacy.
If you give your unlocked phone to someone to use, that person can view your most recent photos, texts, web browsing history, etc., just by thumbing through the cards.
People may scoff and say this only concerns people who have something to hide. But most people want some privacy, or at least the ability to control basic phone functions with settings, like limiting the number of cards which pile up, or clearing then.
Google/Android, on the other hand, proves time and time again that it has just about zero understanding of the concept of privacy, let alone respect for it.
