I think the one-at-a-time running program limit was very smart thinking on
iPhone's part.  Multiple programs waste memory Apple Store could use to
sell you more apps.....very smart, Apple.

......there's only so much memory in it.....

There are PCs that for years had far less memory than a 16GB iPhone. I
have seen whole businesses run on a lot less with remote terminals
networked also.

BTW an unjailbroken iPhone should max out at 164 unique apps due to
need for an launcher icon on the springboard.

Of course you could store web apps in Safari bookmarks which would
increase local code to hundreds if not thousands more. That is a neat
feature of Safari little used.

Jailbreak it and memory is the only limit.
