1) It shows up in the application view of the observer. Also, if one both processes dies the other one dies too, what more supervision would I want? A Task is also not magically rerun if there is a problem. 2) Every OTP behaviour keeps the ancestor info as well, I could use proc_lib instead of spawning directly.
