It's less confusing because the fetch vs push preferences are per-account, so you can see right in preferences which accounts use push and which use fetch (and what the fetch intervals are, as that's also per-account).

> What's more, you get the same behaviour with push notifications already - if you're on a really crappy network, you're likely to not get your notifications instantly due to having too long keepalive timeout until OS adjusts.

In all my years of using iOS I've never noticed push notifications becoming noticeably delayed in situations where I still have a network connection. Maybe Android sucks at this, I don't know, but iOS has always been really good about delivering push notifications quickly if my device is reachable.

As I also said earlier, most networks these days aren't so crappy, so with well-working timeout adjustment algorithm you may never notice it. Also, with increasingly common mobile IPv6 connections, it's not an issue anymore.
