Battery drain. It's a personal device meant to be doing few things simultaneously by design

Correct, but you can't be writing a document in Pages while reviewing
financial reports in Numbers. So any multitasking currently is limited
to what Apple felt it could allow safely.

Not being a developer I don't have an answer but might it be that iOS
allows multitasking for any apps but the different app developers
decided not to bother including it?
