Over the years apple y'all have continued to improve iOS adding many new features and I’m very impressed with the new ai features however there’s one thing that yall haven’t added for some reason and it’s a clear all tabs button. It would make things so much easier instead of swiping up on all those tabs you can you just press a button and everything’s reset. I don’t know if y'all have a reason for not adding the button yet but just putting it out there.

Are you talking about the app switcher? You swipe up from the bottom and can close an app? You want a way to close all apps at once?
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what that function does.
When you exit an app or switch to another one, the app you're leaving is given a few seconds to do some cleanup before it is suspended. Those apps are put into the background and are not running. They are consuming no battery or CPU power.
The images you see in that screen are snapshots of the app before it was suspended.
By suspending apps you actually save battery power because many apps have to perform initial setup before you can start using them. Even though that overhead is quite small it means that if you kill an app in that screen, the app will have to do its setup when you next launch it.
There is no reason to need to close all suspended apps other than some weird 'need' to have nothing in that screen.
