Why can't play Youtube in background or in lock screen?

Why can't play Youtube (some music/radio apps) in background or in lock screen in iOS11 (iPhone7). cant do multi task. I mean while we doing another activity (we are not looking at phone), we can't listening to music using youtube or some musical app. also for youtube we have to keep phone ON (unlock screen) to listen to music regardless.

other con is battery drained quick as uselessly.

iPhone 7, iOS 11.3.1

Ask youtube why you can't.
