Why is Android so stupid that if you open an app B from a link inside app A then app B is somehow opened inside app A, not as an independent process?

Now you can't alternate between the two apps because there is only a single app B opened. In order to go back to app A you have to press "back" on app B many times and hope it closes and control is returned to app A.

Even if you try to reopen a new instance of app A it will just bring you back to app B that is running inside app A. It's impossible to do anything.

Depends on the app default settings or the Android version used, I think. For example, in the Fair Email app, you can set it to either open links via the external default browser, or within the app itself. To minimise ram usage I frequently Close All running apps. Rarely have more than 1 app running either in the background or foreground at any time. Hth
