Possibly there might be obvious technical hurdles I'm missing here, but why wouldn't Google just release a Gmail app for the iPhone?

They already did, but many people are satisfied with the Apple app and wouldn't appreciate being forced to switch to a different and not-meaningfully-better app.

You got it. For me, I like getting my personal and work emails pushed to my iPhone in the same place (the Mail app). Though I have the Gmail app I don't use it.

I only keep the gmail app around for search, because the way gmail or iphone Mail.app implement IMAP search is not so good.
