Surprisingly, that not all of the reason, although push notifications does count. It's like Facebook's (Android) app (which famously tries to not remove something as much as possible due to bad app design), but much more heavier. This is why Chinese Android builds (without Google Services) has heavy-handed "battery optimizations" (more like killing apps).
