So I noticed that when you close an app, most apps, they never actually quit. Is this a new behavior? Or am I missing a setting to terminate, completely, an app when I actually close it without using Force Stop on everything.

Apps don’t necessarily stop running unless you do Force Stop. It’s always been this way.
In addition, swiping apps away in order to stop them has always been counterproductive on Android. Not only because it doesn’t necessarily stop all of the app components, but also because it wastes resources. Android will stop apps as needed when memory is needed. In all other cases it will maximize memory usage in order to minimize CPU and IO making things faster. Stopping apps is only useful in special circumstances like killing a misbehaving app, etc.
You could limit per-app background usage since Android something, but even then it doesn’t matter if you close them from the app list. Shortly after the all is no longer in the foreground, it will stop running, all of its components. It might still be possible for it to wake up now and then but for the majority of the time it wouldn’t run.
