"allow this application to use PushKit for non VOIP related functions"

The number of users who would understand that phrase and find it useful in making a decision is roughly .000000001%. Maybe.

Nitpick: I'd think it's significantly more than that, not because the number of users is large, but because .000000001% is mindbogglingly small. Remove a few zeros!

I don't think they were going for an accurate number. I actually think the hyperbole helps make the point they're making in this case.
