Not always, there are systems where a device will be forcibly kicked off
one AP that is weak it, when the system knows there is another AP that
will be stronger for it.


According to (most) things I have read about it this is a 'bad idea'.
APs should *never* kick a client off, the client should *always*
control this. An AP disconnecting a client is a last resort action
and indicates that something has gone wrong.
