Does not need native access
Technically it would be no problem to multitask even "normal" C# apps. Just to add multitasking no native access is needed, these two things are not necessarily linked.
And anyway, native access could develop into a massive headache. Up to now, all WP7 phones are based on the ARM architecture, but if Intel becomes better with their low-power CPUs that could change, and after that you would have to deal with different instruction sets.
I really don't think that WP7 is dead without native access, but I do think that the almost totally locked-down APIs could snowball into a growing disadvantage.
