Please provide evidence where you gathered this notion that this is the
intended behavior.

I would believe that it's supposed to force the app to stop running.
Otherwise the button would say "Reset" or "Restart".

Yes it does. The widget is part of your app. If you force stop the app, it
seems right that everything stops with it, including the widget. It would
not seem right if the widget kept working. It's not "Force stop except
widget".

 logically The force stop button should act as a single point to reset both

I don't think it's logical for a button labeled "Force stop" to "reset".
I think it's logical for a button labeled "Force stop" to "force" the app
to "stop" running. It would be a fairly useless button indeed if all it did
was reset an app - what if it was a malicious app I wanted to stop in its
tracks?
