Yeah I agree, and the biggest issue is that making it a commercial product is extremely dangerous (though some company try it anyway). IMO this is one of the major competition issue in the Android world. Thankfully there is China (so both mainland, and Huawei overseas) to have app makers understand that google push isn't everything. Notably the China market has no interior monopoly on the matter, so the 4 big China OEMs made a generic API that is independent of server side under Unified Push Alliance. (Also opensource-world did the same - without knowing the China side- under UnifiedPush). Hopefully we'll be able to switch to something like that, I just don't know how many apps support it, and whether it's possible to push them into supporting it.
