UX/UI Usability/logic, more like Nokia N9 when swiping

In order to put an app in the background on the Jolla (and the Nokia N9), one can swipe from the right or left edge of the phone. On the N9, the foreground app stays solid and is pushed as a sheet to the side, and the multitasking grid of running apps is shown underneath. On the Jolla, nothing is following the movement of the finger, but instead, the foreground app is faded, so one can see the multitasking grid.

Why not have both? That would feel much more logic to me:

Let the foreground app slide with the finger movement and also fade.
