It's one thing to simply not use a feature that you might not want, but it's another thing for that feature to show things that you might not want to be available and for you not to have control over that. It's not about usefulness of something, it's about it showing personal information that you might not want it to show and you not really having control over it displaying that information. Talk about asinine.

It's not about contacts, it's about recent contacts. There's a difference. Where else can you see recent contacts on the phone where I can't clear them out? And there you go.
They aren't just based on the recent calls, but also messaging and perhaps some other things (maybe email and/or something else).
Yeah...except that you can quickly and easily clear out any app that you don't want to be there (or even all apps if you wanted to). It's a rather simple difference, and yet people seem to want to argue otherwise against the obvious somehow.
Um. Do you know how ridiculous you sound. First of all it IS called multitasking! Don't correct people when you have no fu**en clue what your talking about. Need proof take a look at the screen shot below. Need the link http://www.apple.com/ios/features/#multitasking
Who cares about any of that? People simply want to have control of things on their device. You can clear your browser history, you can clear your phone call history, you can delete/clear your messages, etc., etc., etc., why would something like this be any different? What you are saying would apply to any and all of those--who in their right mind is going to say that we should do away with clearing browser, call, messaging and other history? Because that's essentially what you are arguing for. As strange of an argument as it gets.
Or talk about it, submit feedback, hopefully have others submit it as well, and hope that Apple will fix/change it, especially given that things are still in beta and are in a state where a lot of them are still being changed/finalized.
Maybe it's not working the way it was designed to yet--it's all still in beta--no one outside of Apple can really know that for sure. And even if it is, it doesn't mean that they can't modify it in some way to accommodate something or address something. While it might not be changed and come out the way that it is, there's still a decent possibility that it might be changed before the public release.
Again, none of that means that it might not get the option of being able to delete/clear recent contacts or something like that, especially while it's in beta. And even if that's still the case, that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be discussing the idea that it's a miss on Apple's part not to include something like that.
Exiting all apps and clearing recent contacts are not the same thing, there's a lot of precedent when it comes to clearing recent calls, browsing history, etc.,--even similar in concept frequent locations that were introduced in iOS 7 have a way to be cleared or disabled--all of which make clearing recent contacts a fairly natural idea and not against any Apple or other design/usability "philosophy", while closing all apps at once is somewhat different and in a sense goes against how Apple sees the system working where mass closing of apps shouldn't be necessary--I'm not saying I agree with that necessarily, but that it's different.
