Unable to disable multitasking on iPad 15.4.1

So many people find the inability to disable multitasking on iOS 15.4.1 annoying, why is apple not listening? More feedback is required to make them listen I think.

Being aware that now (running iPadOS 15 or later) the only option to access/control multi-tasking is the “three-dots” button at the top center edge of the screen (as per these instructions:--> Use multitasking on your iPad - Apple Support), you can submit your comments/requests to Apple directly, using this link:--> Apple – Product Feedback.

The more requests are made, the more likely it is that Apple will change the current settings for this widely used feature on iPads.

Thank you for responding Proust Giulio, I appreciate you taking the time :). Those three dots are a pain in the neck to me because I keep hitting them by mistake. Plus I hate having mini windows popping up on the bottom of the screen all the time which I then have to clear before I go any further. I have sent feedback about it to Apple. But I can't imagine what they were thinking by not giving their users the choice as they do with the other settings. How hard can it be to put in a disablement setting. I do understand that it might be a useful feature for many but judging by the feedback from other users, there are many who find it more of a nuisance. Neither is right or wrong... but I have no need to multitask and, therefore, a choice would be nice.. and expected.
