That is normal behavior.

Again, I ask: why?

Then don't expect much help. I'm not asking "why" because I expect the
reason to be interesting, I am asking "why" because you are clearly
confused, so I am trying to get to the real problem here.

That's conceivable, but unlikely, since your users probably want your
app to behave like all their other apps.

What do you think the difference is between:

"if home is hit on ANY of my activities, I want all of them to finish"

and:

"if home is hit on ANY of my activities, the home screen should appear"

since the latter is the standard behavior? The home screen will appear
in either case.

Clearly, you think that there is some difference. We need to know what
the behavior difference is that you are expecting, so we can guide you
on how to achieve it.
