I would argue that Mission Control—not the Dock—is the equivalent of the iOS multitasking tray. The Dock can show applications that are not running, while the multitasking tray cannot (at least, from the user's POV).

When using Mission Control, I personally do find value in seeing what my open applications are doing. Often that's a factor in whether I keep them running.

EDIT: I was assuming when you said "...keeps it simple with the icons..." that you were referring to the Dock.

Yeah was just referring to the ⌘ + Tab app switching which in my mind was the equivalent of the iOS multitasing tray.

Sure, there is mission control, which I originally was really excited by but in the end dont use cause it's all overload.

But yeah, if your someone that values mission control then the app previews would be a good addition, guess was just asking if anyone actually did find it useful to switch apps that way.

Ah yes, I didn't even consider ⌘ + Tab. That's very much like the iOS multitasking tray.
