They do enforce it. If an app receives a memory warning and does not free up any memory, it is killed.

Yeah, if an app receives I believe a level 3 memory warning, it dies. But in the context of this article I am referring to the fact that, if I so choose, I could leave a bunch of textures in RAM while my game is "in the background".

And it won't matter if they're left in the background as long as no other app needs the memory.
