  Yes, but they will miss the sensor data that was generated between the
time the app was killed and when it was restarted. Think tracking/
tracing apps, activity trackers - including sleep tracking -, etc., etc..
For example the developer of Sleep as Android developed the
DontKillMyApp app [1]. Need I say more!?

  Like I said, if paging/swapping wasn't needed, computers wouldn't have
those functionalities, because one 'disk'-access (load-only) is faster
than two (page/swap out and back in).

  I'm sure there are many, many other applications where killing
processes just isn't an option. Actually the exact opposite, I think
there are few applications where killing the process(es) *is* acceptable
behaviour.
