Just a data point: Fastmail got them to implement/support push for Fastmail on iOS (no, it's not just IMAP IDLE).

  Interestingly enough, you don't need Apple's support to do that: https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon. Apple didn't have to build an API for them, they simply provided documentation for how to use the existing API.

    Ah, that's nice! Though their blog post at the time seemed to indicate that Apple helped them a bit: https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/07/17/push-email-now-available-in-ios-mail/ https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/07/17/push-email-now-availabl...

  Sure, and occasionally the add stuff and consult with Mac software houses and indie devs (or musicians and editors for their Pro stuff) on what to add etc. But that's not the same as building a bunch of APIs for a competitor.

    Like the whole Swift open-source ecosystem.
