They want to control the experience. One of the reasons you can't develop applications to run in the background.

For example; Badly programmed application that drain the battery life while running in the background. If this is a popular app (twitter client for example), any idea how many people are gonna call support cause their iPhone battery doesn't last as long as advertised?

And the 'mainstream' customer doesn't (and shouldn't have to) know about things like a task/process manager.

Whatever they do, its clearly working. Although the MobileMe launch could have been better :P.
