So I noticed that when you close an app, most apps, they never actually quit. Is this a new behavior? Or am I missing a setting to terminate, completely, an app when I actually close it without using Force Stop on everything.

In android 14 most apps background apps are frozen in memory. Just because you see a force stop button doesn't mean its actually doing any work or consuming batttery.

Android does memory and battery management on its own. You also get some options to further restrict apps should you desire but that may break some apps.
