Yeah, that had me puzzled too. I haven't had to mess around with clearing apps or resetting data or even rebooting my phone since 4.1 hit the Gnex - even before that it was very occasional reboot and not much else. Nowadays it just works. Can't figure out why people keep complaining about battery life as well - probably they've the wrong phone. Head over the Anandtech or any other reputable review site and you will find many Android phones trumping the iPhone in battery life department. My Moto G easily runs for a day+ consistently and I am a pretty heavy user.
