Few apps have that.  Why do those users want this?

Mobile OSes present a very different flow than desktop. This post 
describes that well, along with some other fine points about explicit quit:

FWIW at one time I believe I'd seen a discussion about this in the 
Android Design Guidelines, but the latest version has a messy taxonomy 
and if there's anything related to quitting I can't find it there.
