Android 14 seems to have quietly eliminated a trick some apps were using to keep themselves alive when the OS tried to kill them.
As spotted by Greenify developer Oasis Feng, Android now freezes a package's cgroup before killing it. Control groups (cgroups) is a Linux kernel feature that organizes processes into groups so their resource usage can be monitored/controlled.

Android does have that. This is about apps that we’re malicious and intentionally stayed active in the background… That’s what Mishaal talks about.
You can look for what you want on any Android phone.
In the Battery Usage section of the App Info page, you’ll see 3 options. Unrestricted is the one to use for what you seek.
Idk if it’s the same in all skins of Android, but this is for a Stock Android custom ROM.

Here’s the MiUI skin’s variation:
I wish my Realme x3 actually honoured the ‘don’t kill’ settings.
It kills tasker. It used to kill Messenger.
I probably won’t buy one again as I just can’t trust it. All else about it is great.
That’s sad.
