the home button is to return home if u r stuck with any app, short of cutting off the power.
or if u want to use another app while keep an app running (e.g. copying files with a file manager).
this kind of button is found in many devices, incl smart tvs.
kodi will exit properly if yr build is done properly.
yes, it does get stuck frequently if u hv too many things inside or visit some bad links often.
try to use indigo maintenance tools to clean up regularly.
or the native cleaner app found in the launcher.
however, i hv not seen any further problems arising from exit using home button.
Just sharing a test I have been doing since early May. I stopped using the screen EXIT button, used remote HOME button to exit KODI. A month is quite a long time and any resulting error should show up by now.or if u want to use another app while keep an app running (e.g. copying files with a file manager).

On cold Q5 Pro startup, sometimes (about 1 in 20), it hangs there and I have to press the power button to restart. This has happened before when I was using the screen EXIT button. Frequency about the same. So don't think this problem is a result of me using the HOME button to exit Kodi.
BB
When I returned to Kodi after using the HOME button, it brought me back to the page where I left Kodi. So HOME is more like a pause function than a true exit.

Before May when I used QUICKCLEAN, I usually cleaned about 200-400 MB of memory. On using the HOME button to exit Kodi, seeing 400-700 MB a few times on using QUICKCLEAN. Think this is due to uncleared memory on using HOME button to exit Kodi.
Found this.
As long as the memory usage is not too high in playing my Q5 Pro, then using HOME to exit Kodi (temporary or permanent) is AOK.
Cheerio.
