Well this depends. If you're using a device with only the resources to
run one app at a time or a operating system that doesn't do much to
manage resources then this is true. However this isn't true of the
iPhone. The question is do you want to manage the memory and resources
on your phone yourself or do you want to let the operating system do
this for you. If you mail, text or phone a lot then leaving these apps
open will mean they're easier to bring up since you only need to go into
the App /Switcher and furthermore they'll load faster since they're
already in the phones memory or cache. I use a smart phone, tablet or
computer because I want them to do as much for me as they can, and that
includes managing their own memory and processes. This is coming from a
4S user.
I do clear out the App Switcher though when the phone starts acting
flaky, and I will occasionally just pro actively go in there and unload
some apps I know I won't be running any time soon. I don't choose to
spend my time going into the App Switcher and unloading an app every
time I finish using it. This is just my choice however, and I probably
deal with some flakiness I could avoid otherwise. Apple did implement
multi tasking in IOS though, so it should be taken advantage of. If apps
needed to be closed when you were done using them then I'd think Apple
would make it a bit easier to do that than having to go into the App
Switcher to do it. Just my $0.02 which people are free to ignore.

Logic tells me that the more you have running in the background, the
less you can work with, because it is being used elsewhere. With that
in mind, I always empty the app switcher of apps I am not currently using.

I disagree, a couple of weeks ago I had almost every app on my
phone, more than 60 and I had about 50 open, lots of things were not
really working right and when I emptied the apt switcher everything
was back to normal, I did not realize I had that many in there until
I started closing them, thought I’d never be done. Anyway, I still
try to keep mine at a lot less than 50 apps now. I could not get
KNFB to work before I emptied mine, nor talking goggles which I use
to read my oven so I can set the temperature correctly, only thing
that seems to work for reading the oven, it has that touch screen
and very difficult to get it right without help, goggles helps. It
is about all I now use it for, however.
Anyway, I read somewhere that one never needed to empty the app
switcher, but it was in a book where the person is not using
Voiceover, and I do think it makes a difference.

The Home Button has always done that. You really never need to close
apps, especially with iOS7 or 8 and the newer iPhones or iPads. The
system manages things well, and makes apps sleep or work in the most
efficient way it can. The only time you'd need to close an app is if
it is misbehaving (sucking up data or power like crazy, or not
responding correctly). Mostly, you can leave apps alone and you'll
be fine. The App Switcher is a quick way to access recent apps, or
apps being handed off by other Apple devices, but it isn't necessary
to keep it cleaned out.

Ok, I do this now but I still wish it would tell me where I am
when I hit that app switcher! I guess I like more rather than
less verbosity. What is nice is that if I simply hit the home
button once, it will bring me back to the home page where I
might want to open something else without closing settings or
whatever app I was just in, so that is easy!

I think I see what you're saying. It isn't that the focus is on
the wrong app, it's that VoiceOver is silent, not speaking the
app at all. Simply touch the screen to focus; you'll have to do
that anyway, to close it, or to start swiping to other apps, so
it's really nothing extra.
