Why can’t I just use push for Google Accounts on Apple mail? Whats stopping you to implement it? I have to keep both Mail and Gmail apps and I could really just use the default app if I can get my mails instantly rather than waiting for 15 mins.

Well… no. Everybody is able to setup an account on Mail. The problem here is that on Mail you can’t have push emails but the app check on Gmail servers every 15-30-60 minutes or manually. There’s no way to have Gmail push emails on Mail
It’s a main issue since… ever, I’d say.
I don’t remember if it’s Apple who doesn’t want push Gmail’s emails or it’s Gmail to block push emails on Mail.
It would be easy to make it work, but they (Apple and/or Google) don’t cooperate and are not interested in making Apple’s and Gmail’s users happy.
If Gmail were a good app, there would be no problem: point is that Gmail app (like Gmail website) is not perfect and UI is not brilliant.
