I don’t think so, at least not universally. If your app is a journal, editor, photo library, or a video player it’s not in your interest to have the user diving into other programs or multitasking. In those cases what they’re comfortable with and what works best for them is more important. Since you’ll come back to the program again and again or for deep work, the long term payoff can be worth messing around with the ui.
